• Mike Webb: track caused ‘standing water in critical places’
The MotoGP race director Mike Webb blamed the newly laid surface at Silverstone after the British Grand Prix was cancelled following repeated delays on Sunday after rain made conditions too dangerous for riders.
Having initially attempted to bring the start time forward in anticipation of bad weather only to be frustrated by persistent rain, organisers conducted a track inspection at 3pm and were hopeful that the race could start even as late as 5pm.
