The news broke earlier today that the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix had been cancelled due to severe flooding in the region and the drivers have been giving their reactions to the situation.
George Russell understands the decision to cancel the race weekend in Imola. "Sorry for the fans that this weekend’s race has been cancelled but the safety of everyone involved always has to come first. Wishing all the best to everyone in the Emilia-Romagna region and surrounding areas that have been affected by these floods." the Mercedes driver said on Twitter.
