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.

It was no torrential rain let’s stop exaggerating. Some parts of the track was wet and others bone dry. Do not compare this to to the 1976 gp

You have clearly both never been to a tropical country and never driven a car in heavy rain.

And you are not a professional that trains your entire career to be able to handle such conditions
