Formula 1 race in Italy canceled due to flooding

The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna has been canceled due to flooding in the region, according to the press service of the Royal Races.

The Grand Prix was scheduled to be held from 19 to 21 May. However, the leadership of the championship, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and local authorities made a joint decision to cancel the competition. Earlier it was reported that the staff at the circuit in Imola was evacuated due to the threat of flooding.

– The decision was made because it is impossible to safely hold the event for our fans, teams and staff, and this is the right and responsible decision, given the situation in which the cities and towns of the region find themselves. It would be wrong to put additional pressure on local authorities and emergency services during this difficult time.

The next Formula 1 round will take place in Monaco from 26 to 28 May.

    Three Formula 1 teams filed a lawsuit due to the possible technical advantage of Mercedes and Red Bull

    The Ferrari, Audi and Aston Martin teams have filed a joint lawsuit with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) over the advantage that Mercedes and Red Bull may have in the 2026 season under the new technical regulations, The Race reports.

    In 2026, Formula 1 will switch to new technical regulations, which provide for a reduction in the fuel compression ratio in power plants from 18:1 to 16:1. This indicator will be monitored off the track.

    According to the source, Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to pass the tests while maintaining the actual race compression ratio at 18:1. This could give teams an advantage of 0.3-0.4 seconds per lap.

    — The regulations clearly define the maximum compression ratio and the method for measuring it, based on static conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure remains unchanged despite the reduction in the permissible compression ratio for 2026, the FIA ​​said in a statement.

    The FIA ​​does not intend to change the regulations at least until the tests are carried out. Teams are allowed to update their power unit designs every six races of the season.
