Poor taste Daniel.

Back to the point though, Whilst I agree that part of the race yesterday was needed to be halted and it was, I do think they dragged it out longer than was needed. Di Resta and Hamilton agreed the race should not have been started behind, mainly because they had the most to gain, but it once again robbed us of the squabble into turn 1. Its one of the most exciting starts on the calendar, and we missed out IMO. Nevermind, once the race had restarted after the final SC, it was epic and a pleasure to watch.

They stopped the race at the right time, I think everyone agrees on that. However, there is no point having wet tyres if drivers won't be allowed to use them so I really figure they should just do away with them.

Safety is always important but, between the safety car start and the drivers not being allowed to drive in fully wet conditions anymore apparently, then F1 should simply get rid of wet tyres if they won't be allowed to use them. I can imagine some of the greats cringing at what transpired yesterday. They are paid enough money to go out and race and they should do it in all conditions unless it is absolutely undrivable. I think most people would agree that after lap 30-31 the track was indeed very drivable.
