F1 DRIVERS IN DANGER: FIA FACES BACKLASH OVER WET STARTS

Formula 1 drivers are up in arms over the treacherous wet starts they are forced to endure, putting the FIA in an “impossible job” situation. The recent chaos at Spa highlighted the grave concerns raised by drivers like Williams’ Alex Albon, who described the conditions as an “awkward position” due to the blinding spray generated by the ground effect cars.

Albon expressed the sheer terror of hurtling at 250kph while being unable to see a mere 20 meters ahead, emphasizing the life-threatening nature of the current setup. Despite the consensus that delaying the race start at Spa was the right call, the rapid track dry-out only allowed for a few laps on intermediate tires before switching to slicks, nullifying the challenge of wet-weather driving.

The FIA is under intense scrutiny as drivers lament being portrayed as complainers when they raise safety concerns. Albon pointed out the inherent flaw in the system, where the tracks are too wet for slicks but the full wet tires are inadequate due to the blinding spray. This puts the drivers in a precarious position, torn between speaking out for their safety and being perceived as weak.

Looking ahead to potential solutions, Albon hinted at a brighter future with the upcoming 2026 car regulations that are expected to address the spray issue, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the current chaos. The upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix serves as another battleground where drivers will once again face the daunting challenge of wet starts in the unforgiving world of Formula 1.
