They managed to make SPA suck, SPA !@?!?!@?!

The problem is we do not let them run in the rain anymore. Safety car, safety car start, the rain tire is NEVER used, if it's > intermediate they red flag the thing - when have we seen full wets in use lately ? The "make the cars aero so they can get closer for passing" rules make for more water in the air... and less vis..

Plus the bigger problem is parc fermé rules: some teams were smart and planned for extra downforce for rain... Some teams, turned out were smarter, and planned for normal downforce because they knew the weenies in charge would delay or red flag the race if it was anythign over intermediates. Totally skullF 1/2 the grid's race IMO.

The drivers asking "why aren't we running" were all on high downforce, the others "ooh it's too wet" on low. Easy fix? Wet race -> let everyone re-set their car !
