Verstappen believes that F1 approaching rain situations like NASCAR does would be a 'shame' for the series.
The perils of racing single-seaters in the rain were highlighted last month by the fatal accident of Formula Regional racer Dilano van 't Hoff at Spa, with the lack of visibility in the rain a major factor in the multi-car collision that claimed the Dutchman's life.
According to Red Bull driver Verstappen, who won both the sprint and Sunday's largely dry grand prix, there will always be visibility problems in wet weather conditions, even if the FIA successfully implements the wheel covers or so-called spray guards it has been testing at Silverstone. "Wheel covers on a Formula 1 car won't make a big difference. The safety car also gave too much spray towards me. On the motorway you actually have the same problem."
"Of course, certain accidents happen that have a bad outcome and then people naturally start to talk about it more. But if you look at it that way, you can't really race in the rain any more because there will always be problems with visibility.
