F1 chief raises Monaco Grand Prix concerns after floods forced Emilia-Romagna cancellation

The floods that forced the cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola this weekend could have a knock-on effect, with next weekend's Monaco Grand Prix potentially in doubt.

The cancellation of this weekend's race was confirmed on Wednesday, with floods leaving parts of the paddock underwater. More heavy rain is expected in the coming days, with the extensive Formula One operation needing to arrive in Monaco next week.

The 20 F1 teams will need to transport their equipment and staff to Monaco, with a 217 mile trip to the principality on the French Riviera to be made in the coming days amid continued disruption. The difficulties of the situation have been revealed by members of the F1 paddock, with Formula 2 director of operations, Marco Codello highlighting the problems amid continued disruption.
