Apparently drivers cried rivers about visibility on Thursday so this is it.

Gasly and Ocon saying it’s too wet to race still.

They need to change that rule where they mandate teams to start on the full wet tires.
Why? Conditions are the same for everyone.
Because they don't let them race until the track is dry enough for intermediate tires. We are likely to see the whole grid box the moment they are allowed to.
It's not problem with mandatory wet tires it's problem they're not letting them race in these conditions which are ok for racing.

It seems tractor is at the scene already so probably will be few more laps.
