Nyck de Vries has recounted how he got trapped - and eventually managed to escape - the Imola F1 flood.
On Wednesday it was confirmed that the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix would not go ahead due to the issues in the surrounding area, as well as at the Imola track itself.
"Stuck in a little village with one fully booked hotel. Fortunately, McLaren got stranded there earlier and their front jack Frazer was kind enough to give me his room. "Post-F1 announcement, I only saw one potential option to get home, which was driving via Firenze [Florence]," he noted. "Thank you to every single person who has been kind enough to help me. It was truly heart-warming to see so many look out for each other.
