Formula 1 race in Imola scheduled for Sunday has been cancelled. It is not safe to hold the Grand Prix in Italy under the current circumstances, the racing series says.
At least five people have been killed in the Adriatic coast area since Tuesday. The paddock at the racetrack was already cleared on Tuesday for safety reasons because a nearby river threatened to overflow.. After heavy rainfall, there are sometimes dramatic floods in the Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna and the Marche.
