Someone else commented:

"Sure... there's a chance that rain could jeopardise the Imola GP weekend but honestly... that doesn't matter. What does matter is that the people living in the region stay safe, in what are atrocious weather conditions. #ImolaGP #F1"

There have been no official announcements from the F1 or FIA as to whether the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix will go ahead, however, there is no doubt they will be assessing the situation closely over the next couple of days.
