Red Bull yesterday really was like "we'll optimize the car for a rain race although we know that rain races never fully get underway in Spa nowadays"

We already had rainy races this year. But at a track like Spa, visibility problems make that simply not possible to safely have a race happen.

There is being cautious, and then there is whatever the fuck this was. Even the drivers weren't happy about, for example Max post race: https://dubz.co/c/e3cfcd

So far I have only seen Max and Red Bull complain. Which makes sense because they set up their car for a wet race.

The more relevant question is the thoughts of drivers who drove in the mid-field or end of the field. Because those are the ones who would be in danger, not Max Verstappen in P4.
