The cancellation of the ImolaGP will have wide-ranging consequences on teams as well as F1. We analyse the full impact of the decision:
With the Imola weekend looking like a washout even before the extent of the flooding became clear, Ferrari had already shelved its plan to run with the rear suspension – as it felt it would be better to wait now until the Spanish Grand Prix next month.
Engineers will need to consider over the next few days whether to commit to the upgrades coming to Monaco – and if the parts are quicker then it makes no sense to wait – or holding fire for one more weekend until Spain.What next for F1’s new tyre allocation and qualifying test However, Imola's loss does not mean that F1 will definitely only get one chance to try the new rule idea out, and it is likely that discussions will take place between Pirelli, the teams and the FIA about whether or not there should be another opportunity slotted in later on too.
There is a race numbers limit for gearboxes though, as their use can be opened up if F1 hits a certain number of races.
