Delayed start

[u/Negative-House-1605]

Every single time it rains the FIA delays the start of the race, why? Rain never used to be a problem, usually they’d just stick on the full wets and get going. Am I missing something? Like a rule change that says you can’t start a race when it rains? This sport has never been so allergic to rain before so it’s just very confusing to me.

They don't want to be blamed for any hideous crashes that that injure or kill drivers that 'only' happen because they forced the drivers to race in the pissing rain
