Love Max, I can see, fine for me, forget anyone else driving through the spray of many cars
Sounds like they were all asked what they think from their perspective?

Suzuka 1994.
Surely modern tyre technology and the cars they should be able to race no?
I can imaging Carlos Sainz Sr looking around and wondering what the problem is as he was used to driving 100mph+ through snow and ice covered trees!

He'd soon change his tune when someone smashed into his rear wing because they were driving with such dreadful visibility and no grip.Love Max, I can see, fine for me, forget anyone else driving through the spray of many cars
Or if he was sat down in 3rd or 4th and being covered in spray..
Karen Horner has his invoice pad ready. He's already filled one out for Les Combes and put it in the post to the Spa circuit organisers...
Hamilton radio - Already can't see anything behind.
----------
Verstappen radio - I have to leave a little bit more space to the safety car than normal ecause I can't see anything.
----------
Norris radio - Quite a bit of aquaplaning now.
----------
Russell radio - Currently up to eau rouge and into turn 5 are the worst. Very bad time to have a race mate
----------
Norris radio - It's pretty awful. Can barely see the car in front at the moment.
----------
Stroll radio - Yeah, I can't see anything behind the car in front of me. There's some aquaplaning on the back straight.

Verstappen radio - I mean it's wet, but for me it's fine to race.

Ocon - There is some as well, yeah.

Are they all going to raise the car and throw on new rear wings now?
Even though he already said he couldn't see anything behind the safety car.
Im not his biggest or indeed Red Bull’s fan but I think he’s just stating what they asked for without really putting much more effort into it. Whereas someone like Vettel may have been like, “it’s fine for me but bla bla bla”
I think the drivers are what they're worried about, too many 20 year olds with very little experience nowadays. Proper embarrassing though 20 years ago they just got on with it instead of acting like crybabies.
