Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix: first race at Imola in the rain?
That's what the weather forecast for the Imola circuit suggests. The race could be disrupted by showers.
After leaving the heat of the Bahraini desert, Formula 1 is facing a much cooler weekend for its return to Europe.
Friday and the first two free practice sessions should take place under a few rays of sun. Temperatures will be very cool, 5 degrees in the morning and 14 in the afternoon.
For the third free practice session and qualifying, the sun is gone: it will be the clouds that will dominate the sky of Imola. Very cool weather and no more than 12 degrees are expected. Rain is not expected for Saturday.
On the other hand, the race is expected to take place entirely on a wet track. Forecasts indicate a deterioration of the weather from Saturday evening and throughout the day on Sunday.
An interesting fact to note: never has a Grand Prix on the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit been run on a wet track! If the rain trend continues, the 20 drivers on the grid would be the first to experience wet conditions in a race on this track.
