Formula 1 has canceled the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix due to heavy rain and deadly flooding in northern Italy, which made it unsafe to proceed with the race at Imola. The decision was taken because it is not possible to safely hold the event for fans, teams, and personnel, and it is the right and responsible thing to do given the situation faced by the towns and cities in the region. At least eight people have died, and more than 5,000 have fled their homes.

F1 personnel preparing for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola have been evacuated due to flooding concerns caused by heavy rains that have led to high water levels in the Santerno river, which runs just north of the circuit.

Imola rejoined the F1 calendar in 2020 to fill out a calendar shortened by COVID-19 cancellations.
Pirelli is introducing a new regulation that mandates the use of every tyre compound in qualifying and reduces the amount of slick tyres allocated to drivers from 13 to 11 sets over the weekend, with the aim of improving sustainability. Pirelli is also testing a new full wet tyre compound at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which will not require the use of thermal blankets before being used, and will bring two sets of a new slick tyre to Spain for teams to test in FP1 and FP2 before introducing the new slick specification from Silverstone onwards.
