If we don’t learn lessons from the past problems that have occurred then we might as well not bother at all.

Apparently nothing was learnt on how to provide good races...

Even next year the cars are too big.

This sport would be much better in many ways with smaller cars.

True, but. I see nothing whatsoever why it would help with wet races.

Wouldnt smaller tyres and cars = less spray.

Not in a meaningful way. The way I remember (In the Häkkinen, Coulthard at McLaren days) in some races cars seemed to pop-out of the mist on TV footage as they were racing. And that was with the narrowest tires and and smallest cars in the past 40+ years I believe.

Actually it was one of the best for viewers, especially in the rain. But F1 became so crap now it's as bad as any Tilke track.

It was never...at least not since 10 years, since they run flat through Eau rouge. Spa IS just crap since many years, I do not get this hype many pull up if we discuss tracks:
- If it rains you can not drive.
- If it is wet drivers die.
- Spectators are in the mud if it is wet.
- If it is not wet, it is boring.
- Super long track with one interesting grandstand.
- Even on TV it is dull. You either watch the Kemmel or you miss possible action on Kemmel...they missed many intersting things...Bearmann issue, pit exits that were close, Hulk in the end...

Well, the past 10-15 years mostly sucked racing-wise in general. But taking away wet races.

And drivers don't "die in the wet". The last F1 death at Spa was in 1960...

Only F1 deaths count? F2 or F3 not important enough? So much gnashing of teeth about rain races, when all that happens is endless safety cars.
