MODERATORS
This is such a horrible, ignorant take.
The recent response from the FIA has been that there won't be racing at all if it's too rainy. See Spa 2021. If you actually watch the onboards in any kind of wet weather it's a shitshow out there. In case you haven't heard there was a death at Spa 2 days ago, in the wet, Dilano van't Hoff. Uncensored replays are out there on YouTube. There was 0 visibility through Eau Rouge. These will improve safety for rain races, allow them to race more, and have 0 impact on dry racing.
Ignorant haha, tell that to the Formula 1 drivers. They hate the wet tyres, and should use their council to take it up with Pirelli. If the conditions are too torrential to race, then dont race; the fans will be mad for a week and move on. F1 has made enough changes to the cars that the drivers already dont like, why make more mid-season, under a budget cap? Its much easier to just bring out a flag than create, homogulate, and get new parts approved, plus shipped and installed, now isnt it?
