In a dramatic turn of events, the FIA has officially announced the postponement of the 2025 British Grand Prix due to severe and hazardous weather conditions at Silverstone. The decision comes after intense rainfall, strong winds, and widespread flooding rendered the circuit unsafe for both drivers and spectators.
Race officials had been closely monitoring the deteriorating weather throughout the weekend, with the Met Office issuing multiple warnings ahead of Sunday’s main event. Despite efforts to keep the schedule intact, the FIA ultimately deemed conditions unfit for racing, prioritising the safety of all involved.
An FIA spokesperson stated, “The safety of drivers, teams, marshals, and fans is our utmost priority. Given the extreme weather and ongoing forecast, continuing with the event as planned was not an option.”
The postponement marks a rare disruption to the historic race, disappointing thousands of fans who had braved the stormy conditions in hopes of witnessing the high-stakes Grand Prix. Discussions are now underway to determine a possible rescheduled date.
More updates are expected in the coming hours as teams and organisers adjust plans in response to the unprecedented weather emergency.
