Seeing full wets in action during a race weekend has become a rare sight in Formula 1. The main reason for that is visibility, as when there’s significantly more water than – let's say – was seen during the British GP at Silverstone, high levels of spray greatly hinder visibility on track.
The FIA hoped to reduce spray with the current generation of cars, but little progress has been made. Visibility remains a limiting factor in the wet – a problem that won’t go away quickly, given the failed tests with wheel covers.
