“Tuesday evening 11.30pm. It’s raining intense, Faenza is already flooded, and I am unable to g𒅌et to my hotel,” de🦋 Vries wrote on Instagram. 

“Returning to the highway is no option either. Stuck in a little village with one fully book✱ed hotel.

“Fortunately McꦆLaren got stranded there earlier and their front jack Frazer was kind enough to give me his room.

“The following morning the hotel lobby turned▨ into an emergency shelter for people who were forced to escape their homes during the night.

“Post F1 announcement, I only saw one potential option to get home, which was driving via Firen💟ze.

“After an adventurous drive through the mount🦹ains, thanks to the help from local people and authorities in different villages, I finally got home safely.

“Thank you to every single♏ person who has bee🎃n kind enough to help me. It was truly heart-warming to see so many look out for each other.

“My thoughts are with those who contꦿinue to be affected by this tragedy. I’ll be back soon in Faenza to✃ meet my team and the people from the region.”
