Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has called for the Formula 1 race in Imola to be canceled due to the heavy rains and flooding in the Emilia-Romagna region.
As Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, he has already spoken to the authorities and organizers of the Grand Prix planned for this weekend, according to ministry circles.
In these days, all forces should be used to fight the storms and the floods, said Salvini from the right-wing populist Lega. In addition, it should be avoided that there is an overload in the affected areas due to the many visitors and cars.
In the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, where the Imola racetrack is located, heavy rain has been falling for days. The paddock at the race track was cleared on Tuesday for safety reasons because a nearby river was threatening to overflow its banks.
