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.
