MODERATORS
Mostly it’s down to stubbornness. But under the guise of visibility. As Martin Brundle once said, they could always just go slower if they can’t see. But that’s not how racing drivers are built it seems. So they all go flat out in the wet, complain that they can’t see shit and then the officials red flag.
Going too slow (currently) doesn't heat up the tyre enough to get grippy, so that would just cause a literal slide-show.
You can point to Pirelli for that one, but it doesn't change the current situation
