A case to go back to smaller wheels and tyres

Actually not it is not. "Everything" is quite large. For example, should we provide a climate control system on each track? Cover with a roof, control temperature, humidity, etc.? Of course we should not. The heavy rain situation is a corner case in which we should not "overly" optimize for.

And this I can agree with. It is not black and white. You have to measure how often heavy rain disrupts the entire event to the point of not racing. If you want that to be zero, you are investing too much to cover rare situations. I personally think that the frequency of this is problem is low enough that it is not a problem that needs to be solved.
