You can have cars with different aero than ground effect and still be fast. The spray problem isn’t an inherent “F1 problem”, it’s a problem with the current regs. We’ve had other regs that were equally fast but created less spray.
But even accounting for that this was a farce in my opinion. It was so dry when we eventually green flagged that people had to immediately actively look for wet patches off line to cool the inters and first reports of them overheating came on lap 2. Hell, we had a “wet race” with no Yellow flag, no retirement, no big moments from anyone and barely even anyone going off track.
We’ve had wetter races this season and it’s been fine, but I guess being at Spa makes race control panic.
