I’ve been watching a lot of old races on F1 TV and the conditions Charlie used to make them race in was sometimes borderline suicidal. But they all got on with it and they produced some amazing racing. With one obvious exception being Japan 2014.
But motor racing is dangerous and all the drivers accept those risks when they strap themselves into the car.
So make them race in wet conditions. They’re supposed to be the best racing drivers in the world after all.
I’m currently rewatching 2010 during the break and there were a couple that definitely match your description. That was the last Bridgestone year so it’s interesting to see the difference.
New fans would do well to check out some of the older seasons and compare to modern f1. 2005 and 2009 are personal favorites
The simplest way is via the F1 Tv app. They have races going back to the 70s. There are also torrent collections that have old seasons, and free streaming sites but I haven’t checked the rules to see if mentioning them is allowed here

As has been discussed multiple times for several years now. It’s not the standing water, it’s the spray.
And despite that whole “Accepting the risks” Gasley sure wasn’t happy last year. Not was anyone else.
Go back and watch some of the older races when Charlie was in charge. The spray was an issue then too and they got on with it.
They may not have been happy but they still accepted the risks by getting in the car.
Times have changed. They don’t want to now and so be it.

How do you watch the older seasons?

Clear thanks. I was not aware that F1 TV offered the old races, I’ll need to ask a friend for access :)
