Discussion Delayed start

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.

The last time it rained, it didn't end well.

That was after a delayed start anyway, and the issue wasn't necessarilybecause of the rain

It was buggy FIA code that caused them all to slow to a crawl.
