Interesting change.
Imho this is mainly positive for cars that suffer less from tyre degradation.
RB and probably AMR too.

Naturally, thinking of that fateful day back on 1 May '94 when Senna was killed at the Tamburello and Ratzenberger the day before when his brakes failed.
Been there myself attending a GP, the track is set in a park.

Being a Ferrari track you may be interested in this article from the Ferrari club Latvia on the history of this track, it has some shocking images relating to accidents there that I haven't seen before so be warned before opening, also if there was any doubt of what the car failure was that caused Senna to crash it's there with the steer wheel on the ground with part of the steer shaft still attached to it.

The F1 race could face adverse weather circumstances such as F1 2021 Spa-Francorchamps, even cancellation.

The area is currently flooded by torrential rains. Italian officials have issued flood and landslide warnings for the Emilia Romagna region given that more rainfall is predicted through Wednesday and Thursday. The rising water level of the Santerno river, nearby to the F1 track, is concerning.

The Italian government has now called for the race to be postponed, so is it all over for this weekend?

There is an update due for 2pm later today on what they might do to progress. It seems the track and the F1 paddock is ok but F2 paddock is like a swimming pool.

Many fan areas and camping are completely flooded by the sheer rainfall and river that runs alongside the track. The weather is set to improve tomorrow but still have light rain on Friday and Saturday.

I'd say it's not yet clear if the race will go ahead, I suspect F1 will but some of the support races might not. But Italy and the local region might say nope, time will tell.

Meeting underway to discuss if the race will go ahead.

Major roads near the circuit that would bring fans in - gulp
