Why Emilia Romagna GP is not expected to find a replacement slot later in this busy F1 season.
The writing was on the wall for the first European round of the season after extreme rainfall caused severe floods throughout the Emilia Romagna region, including parts of the Imola circuit's paddock. Following crunch talks between F1, the FIA and the local authorities,, so all focus could go to restoring infrastructure and freeing up medical services to help the affected communities.
As always, the wording of F1's press release mentioned the decision was"not to proceed" with this weekend's event rather than any hint of a cancellation. With factories set to close for the summer shutdown and most staff having already booked well-deserved time off, bringing forward the second part of the season by one week is no option either, so that covers the period until the end of August.
In any case, November's season-ending duo of Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi would rule out the vacant 11 November date, as that would then create six races on the trot.
