Do you think that because of the Ferrari drivers inability to keep their cars on the black stuff when it gets mildly moist that the FIA will feel the need to ban wet races as Nascar do ???
Come on you true Motor Racing fans do you really think a guy who can not drive in the wet has the right to claim that he is a true World Champion,And please do not tell me it is because a Ferrari is hard to drive in the wet,As Michael used to get them around OK.
I truly think that Ferrari would pay anything to have Hamilton drive for them, Just as much as you Fezza fans would love to cheer him on.

imo theres only one way to find the limit.
and he found it and then crossed it.
fair play to him for giving it some.
no they wont ban the wet, mainly because it rains to much in europe and england that there would never be a championship!
did anyone else notice what looked like a puncture on the left rear of kimis car before he hit the wall?

Banning rain races would be crazy. The fans won't have it when three or four races per season are red-flagged because of a light drizzle.

Bernie will probably use this an excuse to have no British GP

Yes they did, at Montreal on the same course as is used for GPs. It was the Nationwide series which is a sort of second division, but one which features some of the drivers that compete in the Cup series (the first division) and a lot of the same teams.

Not much likelyhood of running on ovals in the rain.

I wouldn't fancy designing a windscreen wiper that worked adequately at 200mph if I'm honest...
