Max Verstappen has aired a significant source of concern for the direction of F1 following the Belgian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen expressed concern that Formula 1 may no longer feature wet races following the lengthy delay at the Belgian Grand Prix. Race control at Spa-Francorchamps waited until the track was nearly dry before commencing the race, leading to a quick switch to dry tires for the drivers. Verstappen believes wet races like these may not occur again, despite his belief that racing in adverse weather conditions is still possible. The issue lies in the danger posed by poor visibility caused by heavy rain and standing water, exacerbated by the vast amounts of water displaced by the current Formula 1 cars. Verstappen felt the race could have begun as planned and worries that the decision to delay the race excessively could eliminate wet races altogether, a sentiment shared by others in the racing community.
