F1 bans pre-race military flypastsReuters, LONDONFormula One has banned pre-race flypasts by military aircraft this season, but Britain’s Red Arrows display team is exempt along with passenger jets using sustainable fuels. Silverstone Circuit managing director Stuart Pringle confirmed in a statement that the Red Arrows would remain part of the British Grand Prix buildup. The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team performs above the stands before the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 18 last year. The Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring has also featured historic plans owned by the energy drink company’s billionaire owner Dietrich Mateschitz. Nearly all private cars were banned from September’s Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, with most fans either cycling to the coastal circuit west of Amsterdam or taking a train.
