Just a few hours ago from Sepang Carlos Ezpeleta was making known his intention to opt for Montmelo as a possible alternative track for the last GP of the season after the cancellation of the Valencia round due to the floods that hit the area, but a new alert, this time coming from the Catalan part of Spain could upset the plans again and force the organizers to find an alternative solution.
Unlike this one that occurred last week, in this case the alert was given diligently by Civil Defense, which sent text messages to all the cell phones of those living in the province of Castellon, Catalonia and the province of Barcelona announcing the possibility of torrential rains. As a precaution, regional Renfe train services were disrupted and at least 50 flights that were scheduled to depart from El Prat Airport were moved as bad weather affected a section of the airport.
Traffic on the AP7 highway was also disrupted in the area around Tarragona. The forecast is for rainfall of up to 180 liters per square meter accumulated over half a day in the Baix Llobregat area. As a result, high-speed trains connecting Barcelona to Madrid have been stopped and connections on the Rodalies network affecting the interior of Catalonia have also been suspended.
