formula 1
Authorities in San Marino have asked all Formula 1 personnel present at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola to leave immediately, due to heavy rain and an increasing risk of flooding. The weather conditions in the Emilia Romagna area claimed two lives in the past, so the staff of F1 and race organizers were evacuated from the racetrack in Imola after the meteorologists turned on the red alert due to the possibility of floods and landslides. F1 hopes the worst of the conditions will be over by Thursday, but it's very likely we're in for a rainy race weekend. https://twitter.com/geeksobreruedas/status/1658477626124820482 https://twitter.com/Willyeforever/status/1658466846771740672 https://twitter.com/MercedesAMGTR/status/1658472874762698755 https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/st

Formula 1 qualifications for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola will undergo a slight change. Racers will have to use a specific compound of tires in each part of qualifying. In the first part of the qualification, all racers will compete on the hardest tire compound, in the second part with medium hard, and in the last part with the softest compound. Pirelli will thus supply the teams with eleven sets of dry track tires for each driver, i.e. two less than before. Racers will have three sets of hard tires, and four sets of medium hard and soft tires for the entire race weekend. In case of rain, the racers will also compete with new rain tires, which do not need to be heated with electric heaters. Until now, heavy rain tires have been heated at 40°C for two hours in the pits, and the new rain tire compound allows driving without preheating
