Forgive the click-baity title and the fact this is from The Race. I thought it was still an interesting article about a topic that hasn't gotten a lot of coverage.

I really hope they can figure out something to enable true wet weather racing.

Just looked it up. Looks fine. Just make them fragile enough to keep that open wheel style racing (no rubbing). If it does improve the racing all the haters and purists won't matter. Same thing as the halo. If they want rubbing action like formula E, make them sturdier.

I lean towards your perspective too.

There's definitely a fine line that differentiates F1 from other series, but it's hard to put into words exactly where that line should be drawn. Personally, I'm more interested in performance and engineering innovation than preserving tradition.
