Hey @F1 , I have a suggestion: next time there's heavy rain and bad visibility, instead of waiting hour(s) and then have drivers immediately box for inters once SC goes in, why not go early behind SC on full wets, that are designed to clear water... 1/5
... for some laps, then allow them to race on full wets for some other laps some other laps, maybe with some yellow flags on sectors that are more dangerous, or if visibility is really really bad under VSC? Cars running on full wets create a racing line pretty quickly 2/5
And there is some action as well as we get the drivers feedback on the actual conditions. I'm pretty sure if this would've been done today at #JapaneseGP they would be racing far sooner and we would avoid another farce involving points in a much reduced race distance. 3/5
I can't be the only one considering this. And full wets are not some cerimonial tyre to be used on demonstration runs only. Actually they're pretty good, as proven, to clear the water, much better than simply waiting. 4/5
And yes, visibility is the big issue that is why running some laps at slower speeds mitigates the risk but at the same time allows for conditions, including visibility, to improve.
Just a thought, maybe #Formula1 's powers to be can consider giving it a shot 5/5
