A statement released by the FIA said: “The decision was taken due to the lack of visibility caused by the level of rain we have experienced in the past few hours. There is a lot of standing water on parts of the circuit which renders conditions unsafe.
“As much as we would all like to see competition on track, the safety of drivers, team members, volunteers, officials and spectators is our main priority.

“A decision on a start time for qualifying tomorrow morning will be taken as soon as possible.”
Speaking to F1 TV following the confirmation of the postponement, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said: “First of all let me once again reiterate the fact that these fans are incredible. We cannot control the weather as you know, and it’s a pity, but the conditions are not safe to drive.
“There is a problem also of light that will very soon hit the track so unfortunately that’s the situation we have to manage.”
