The 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna 2023) was a scheduled Formula One motor race scheduled to be held on 21 May 2023, at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy. On 17 May, Formula One management announced the cancellation of the race due to floods in the region.
Background
The event would have been held across the weekend of 19–21 May 2023.[1] It would have featured the sixth round of the 2023 Formula One World Championship.
Qualifying format
The Grand Prix would have been the first of two to trial a new qualifying format that mandates specific tyre compounds. During the first segment, drivers would have used the hard compound, mediums during the second, and softs during the third.[3]
Championship standings before the race
Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen leads the World Drivers' Championship with 119 points, 14 points ahead of his teammate Sergio Pérez in second, and 44 ahead of Fernando Alonso in third. Red Bull Racing, with 224 points, leads the Constructors' Championship from Aston Martin and Mercedes, who are second and third with 102 and 96 points, respectively.[4]
Entrants
The drivers and teams would have been the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for the race.
Tyre choices
Tyre supplier Pirelli would have brought the C3, C4, and C5 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.[5]
Cancellation
Heading into the weekend, the Italian Protezione Civile issued a weather red alert for the Emilia-Romagna region, where the race would be held; the region had been affected by heavy rain, which led to floods and landslides. On 16 May 2023, all Formula One personnel were instructed to leave the paddock, citing precautionary steps after a rise in water level at the nearby Santerno river was reported.[6][7] Due to the heavy rain observed throughout the week before the race and after several rumours the day before, the Italian ministry called for the race to be postponed.[8][9] Ultimately, the race was cancelled; an official statement from Formula stated that the race was cancelled as it was "not possible to safely hold the event for our fans, the teams and our personnel," and to lighten the load on local emergency services as they had already been pressured due to the storm damage.[10][11]
