In a stunning turn of events, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has officially postponed the Belgian Grand Prix, citing extreme weather conditions as the primary reason for the decision. The announcement came just hours before the scheduled race weekend at the iconic Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
According to FIA officials, relentless rainfall and severe flooding in the surrounding Ardennes region have rendered the track unsafe for racing, with visibility, drainage, and access roads all heavily impacted. Emergency services and local authorities were also reportedly stretched thin, prompting safety concerns for both fans and teams.
“The safety of our drivers, teams, staff, and spectators remains our highest priority,” an FIA spokesperson stated. “Given the current meteorological conditions and the forecast ahead, the Belgian GP will not proceed as scheduled. A revised date will be considered.”
The postponement has sparked mixed reactions across the paddock. While many drivers supported the FIA’s decision, several fans expressed disappointment, especially as this marks the second consecutive year of weather-related disruptions at Spa.
F1 officials are now in discussions with promoters and the FIA to reschedule the event later in the season, though calendar congestion may pose a challenge. More updates are expected in the coming days.
