The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has been called off this weekend because of major flooding in the region.
Discussions on Wednesday between local authorities and organisers of the race at Imola in Italy concluded that the event could not proceed safely.
At least eight people have died and 5,000 people have had to be evacuated following widespread flooding across the Emilia Romagna region.
F1 said calling off the race was “the right and responsible thing to do”. F1 will look at options for rescheduling the race but it is considered unlikely to make a return because of the crowded schedule.
