Looks like bad floods around Bologna.

Sixteen years ago, our daughter (in high school) studied in that region of Italy. When we visited her and her host family, I took my son on a side trip to Modena (northwest of Bologna) to visit the Ferrari Museum. What a fantastic museum! If you are ever in Italy, be sure to go. My son still talks about it and is a big F1 fan to this day.

Even G-D hates what’s become of Formula 1 (and I can’t blame him).

Bummer.

Last year we had some very bad flooding in my neck of the woods, SW Montana.

The first link shows bridges and homes floating down the Yellowstone River, the second is from the National Park Service showing damage to Yellowstone NP.

Flooding can be VERY bad. Best to the good folks in Italy.

They should cancel Monaco and insert this weekend into that date. Only the very rich who gather at Monaco for the parties care if there happens to be a race while they are there. Historic race - yes. Crummy track - yes. Boring ...

That track would need more than just a set of "full wets."

Chode, ol’ buddy, dang that they canceled, this could have been the edge that McLaren needs.

I thought F1 raced in any type of condition unlike wimpy NASCAR.
