I shall miss open wheel racing

This is such a horrible, ignorant take.

The recent response from the FIA has been that there won't be racing at all if it's too rainy. See Spa 2021. If you actually watch the onboards in any kind of wet weather it's a shitshow out there. In case you haven't heard there was a death at Spa 2 days ago, in the wet, Dilano van't Hoff. Uncensored replays are out there on YouTube. There was 0 visibility through Eau Rouge. These will improve safety for rain races, allow them to race more, and have 0 impact on dry racing.
