I have sympathy for the problems of racing in the rain because, like a number of people here, I've done it, and it's horrible. But the rain never stopped me going out and doing it.
If the FIA determines that racing in the wet (as opposed to "damp") is a bad idea, I couldn't disagree. But then they need to develop a whole new set of procedures for doing it. Immediate red flag when the rain comes down, don't fanny around with the safety car (in fact get rid of the safety car in ALL circumstances), come back on Monday if necessary.
Asking the drivers is a bad idea. They all have their own agenda and their opinions are 99% down to getting an advantage for themselves and 1% down to safety. If they think the conditions are too bad, they can do like Niki Lauda did in Japan 1976; park it.
