Hard-Core Tifosi Go All the Way During Imola Floods and Charles Leclerc Approves

The Imola GP might have been canceled owing to the flooding in the region. But this hasn’t watered down the passions of the fans. With it being the Ferrari home race, the Tifosi refused to let the weather stop them from supporting Charles Leclerc and his team.

A fan named Virginia partnered up with a friend to take out an inflatable boat to row on the streams of water caused by the flood. A quick scroll through her account confirms her status as a diehard Ferrari fan.

Thus, she sure wouldn’t let a flood get in the way of her home race. Bringing out the Ferrari flag, she and her friend rowed around in support of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

She had posted a picture of herself at the circuit from last year, surely reminiscing about the missed opportunity this time around. But it all paid off as Leclerc himself came across the now-viral post and dropped a quick like on it.

The Tifosi are notorious for being the most passionate fan base on the grid. Nothing compares to the ocean of Red during Italian races. A dangerous move from the fan, but a drop in the ocean of what it truly means to be a Ferrari fan.

The post did make a lot of fans emotional. People on Twitter rallied in support of the two fans, who portrayed the true meaning of being a Tifosi.

Despite the struggles the team faces this season and even in the past, loyalty runs strong in Tifosi blood. And this was a true picture of that emotion. Thus, fans were impressed with the fan.

The emotions were running high. The dedication from these fans truly struck a chord with the rest of the community.

The post went viral immediately, so much so that it reached Leclerc. In a season like this, the two drivers can do with all the support they can get. But that shouldn’t be a problem. Clearly, the unshakable Ferrari fans aren’t going anywhere.
