Singapore was wet in 2017, Monaco the year before that, Canada in 2011...and given that Singapore speeds are among the slowest on the calendar (2nd to MC, I think), being even slower in the wet is arguably safer. Hell of a lot safer than 190+ at a wet Silverstone.

>You'll get somebody killed.

See above. Bianchi died in wet weather at a purpose-built track. Certainly the weather played a role there, but moreso did the crane. More recently, Hubert at a dry Spa, and then its all the way back to Senna & Ratzenberger (dry), Paletti (dry), Villeneuve (dry), Peterson (dry)...we're 40 years back now. The closest we've come in the last few years has to be Grosjean, and that was in the desert. Speed and freak accidents kill. There's no evidence that rain gets anyone killed, especially at slow street circuits.

Who? Lewis, cause he was bitching on the radio? Six retirements yesterday: two engine failures, Latifi wiping out Zhou because he didn't see him, and because he's Latifi, Albon spinning three weeks after being in a coma, and Yuki not adapting to slicks, and because he's Yuki.

Driving in the rain SHOULD be difficult. Checo, the Ferraris, the McLarens, and even Stroll managed just fine.
