MODERATORS
If it allows us racing in the rain instead of red flagged races or that two-lap circus at Spa in 2021, I’m all for it!
With Spa it was not just the spray, but also a lot of standing water. So it will help, but not in all cases.
If I remember correctly the main problem are the heavy wet tyres. Drivers think they are undrivable in standing water conditions. I thought Pirelli wanted to introduce new wet tyres for this season but I don't know if they are available yet.
