Formula 1 teams are gearing up for a potentially chaotic Sunday as the 2025 Imola Grand Prix faces a volatile weather forecast, with rain and storms threatening to shake up the race in Emilia-Romagna. The latest reports suggest that the iconic Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari could see significant rainfall and storm activity just hours before lights out.
Forecasts indicate that light rain will begin late Saturday and intensify overnight, leading to heavy showers and the possibility of thunderstorms by midday Sunday. These conditions could heavily influence race strategies, particularly with a scheduled start time of 15:00 local time.
Temperatures are expected to remain cool, between 14°C and 16°C, which may hinder tire performance and warming. In addition, strong winds reaching up to 35 km/h could further unsettle the cars, making handling difficult on the already-challenging circuit.
The wet weather is reminiscent of classic Imola races where rain turned strategy and driver skill into deciding factors. Teams are already making setup adjustments to prepare for a wet track, with tire selections likely to include full wets and intermediates depending on conditions.
Ferrari, hoping to capitalize on home advantage, could benefit from their car’s strong aerodynamic setup. Meanwhile, Red Bull, Mercedes, and others will be scrambling to adapt as the weather continues to shift. Drivers like Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton—each known for their prowess in wet conditions—may be key figures in the unfolding drama.
Officials have not altered the race schedule but remain ready to act if the weather worsens. As conditions remain unpredictable, fans can expect a thrilling and potentially turbulent Grand Prix as the world’s best drivers take on nature’s challenge at Imola.
