F1: Qatar Airways GP of Made in Italy and Emilia-Romagna canceled due to bad weather emergency
05/17/2023
The emergency and what was caused by the bad weather which, once again, hit the Emilia-Romagna Region, require the organizers of the “Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Made in Italy and Emilia Romagna”, scheduled from 19 to 21 May , to cancel the event, due to force majeure. A decision that was taken in mutual agreement with the Authorities and Formula 1.
The Automobile Club of Italy – the Sports Federation organizing the event – expresses its utmost solidarity with those who, in these dramatic hours, mourn the loss of their loved ones or are forced to leave their homes. It also expresses support and thanks to the Institutions of the State, the Emilia Romagna Region, the forces of order and civil protection which, in these difficult days, are doing their utmost to help the population and secure the territory.
Lastly, thanks go to the more than 3,000 insiders who had arrived at Imola to organize and make the Grand Prix dispute possible.
“I am deeply saddened by what is happening in Emilia Romagna – commented the president of ACI, Angelo Sticchi Damiani – the cancellation was inevitable in the face of such a dramatic situation. Given the complexity of the calendar, it is reasonable to imagine that the 2023 edition will be held in 2026. But at the moment it is certainly not a priority”.
Soon, further communications for enthusiasts who intended to reach the “Enzo e Dino Ferrari” International Racetrack in Imola over the weekend.
