It's not about drivability, the spray is really bad.

Remember those days when Charlie remembered that the cars have full wet tires, he wont let them race until its inter weather now.

It's not even bloody raining!

What is the point of having rain tyres... if you can't race in mild falling droplets

What a complete and utter farce!

I don't agree with this nonsense about not letting them race in the rain at all. They get all desperate, making ridiculous decisions around improving the racing and then go and ban the thing that never fails to make a race exciting. The spray, the standing water, risk of aquaplaning etc etc... race drivers have dealt with these things for decades.

But let's imagine we all somehow agree that they shouldn't race in the rain... They've known since Thursday that this was coming! Reschedule the bloody race! Idiots!

So the race was red flagged on lap 2, does that mean the race gets a full restart from lap 1, or do they start on lap 3 where they left ?

FIA asked to start race early twice. Organizers said no. While I agree FIA is stupid, this particular cock up isn't on them.

They just said on Sky that the FIA offered to hold the race earlier to Honda (the promoters) but Honda said no.
