F1 is not in Imola this weekend, but drivers and teams are doing their bit to raise money and help the region affected by the devastating impact of flooding in recent days.
While the real-life Emilia Romagna GP will not go ahead due to devastating flooding in the region, the racing will go on virtually to help those sadly impacted.
There was strong hope at the start of the week that the event was not under threat, but further heavy rainfall on the Tuesday and Wednesday meant that the only fair decision was for Formula 1 to cancel the race weekend. And on Saturday from 1700 UK time, the Williams team launched their ‘Race for Imola Charity GP’ with all proceeds going to the flood relief fund.
