I saw the spray but by the time the safety car went in it was dry enough for intermediates, that's my point. It should have come in sooner. No point in having wet tyres if it will always be too wet to use them before it is safe to race.

I long for the days of Donnington 93, Spain 96, Spa 98, Monza 97, Estoril 85 where they were told get out there and race, and no pussy footing crap.

I second that. When I saw the torrential rain I was 100% supportive of a red flag, but the safety car situation in the restart, ridiculous. And I think that yes, now F1 will race only in dry and intermediate conditions. Today, everything is like that
