    I’m sorry, but no. This is not a Spa problem. A crash like this could have happened at a large number of circuits in these conditions.

    Remember that wet Brazil GP a few years ago when Kimi spun on the start finish straight, ending up stationary at a 90 degree angle to the track? Could have easily been fatal had he been hit. Same possibility at Baku (even in the dry because of the blind corners), Monza, …

    It’s basically impossible the run modern open seaters in these conditions because of all the aero downforce and thus spray. That’s the discussion to have imo.
