The expected rain in Imola this weekend
The F1 arrives in Europe for a series of 3 Grand Prix races. However, this first event is going to be disrupted by rain, according to weather forecasts.
With particularly bad weather conditions last year, the Imola track risks being completely soaked by rain and storms again this season.
In 2022, several drivers, including Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris, made mistakes during the qualifying session. The race had started with intermediate tires as the conditions did not allow for slicks. And this time, we won’t have a sprint weekend. A scenario that could bring back some uncertainty about the winner.
The latest weather report announces rain for the next 3 days. Although this may still change, Friday will be very rainy for the drivers who will likely have to test configurations for the race, which is also expected to take place in the rain. Indeed, on Sunday a few drops might appear during the race between 12pm and 7pm, which could potentially lead to some unexpected turns in a Formula 1 that has been criticized for its lack of suspense at the front in recent weeks.
