I don't think the FIA would send another recovery tractor onto a wet track ever again...
That's what I was thinking too. They could have banned this for good with what happened last season. I hope they have learned from Suzuka '14. I really hope at some point when it's getting too dark, they really need to flag down the race. Visibility of the rain, spray of the cars ahead and the darkness coming will have a huge outcome.
I think this is knee jerk reaction. Of course the lessons will be learnt from Suzuka '14, but that doesn't mean you start looking at Motor Racing as some kind of kindergarten school competition. Every one agrees, what happened last year was freak and they will re-look at recovery truck deployment methods to ensure the racing is made even more safer. But, stopping races in rain, low light? We don't watch Motor racing like a picnic event in a park with under nice sunlight. Motor racing has always attracted people, because of its nature where man and machine are skirting with death under severe circumstances. Those who are hard core racers, go there, do that and enjoy, despite knowing they may not come back alive. I like it that way.
