Very true , what wrong with the simple option , a few men with extra wide brushes.Also I can't believe it's 2016 and we don't have a more technical solution to clearing debris than kicking it away.

Facing the wrong way on the main straight like that with all the cars coming at once. So scary.
FFS that looked bad.
This is why standing starts don't really work in wet weather, no temperature in the car and it's therefore useless in terms of generating downforce/grip.
Imagine paying 00s of £s for this?
Everyone 30 mins ago, OMG SC start why?
A few crashes later, oh a bit scary this.
A few crashes later, oh a bit scary this.
I actually think this track is too dangerous in these conditions, call me a pussy if you want but too spin like that on the straight in full wets.
That was scary, facing the wrong way on the main straight.
The race was ok on full wets at temperature, until some idiots started gambling on inters and brought the SC again to drop the temps.
There's been so many times where they should have been racing but instead fecked about behind the SC, and now where it's plainly obvious they shouldn't be out there they just let them race.
Well done F1.
Well done F1.
I agree the inters were up on too early , but Kimi crashed on full wets on a straight.
Indeed, absolutely crazy conditions.
Which had lost temp because the SC was bought out by Ericsson being on inters.
I feel like most of F1's problems would go away if they had a decent tyre supplier. Pirelli have had 5 years to make a decent wet tyre now and they still can't seem to manage it.
The most entertaining race i have seen in years. F1 would be miles better if they had sprinklers pissing water down on the track for every race.
You make a very good point, I am all for standing starts in the rain , no SC start but when does it become too wet? for me it is too wet.
It wasn't, and also irrelevant on what tyres the guys were on. Drivers were aquaplaning at turn 14/15.
Yeah the crux of it seems that the inters are the better wet tyre, providing you don't aquaplane.
Yes, very fortunate that everyone missed him, would have been horrific
Why cant they have 2 wet race boots , the one they have now and an extreme one for this sort of rain, would that work ?
Regardless of tyre supplier, the physical amount of standing water on the circuit is the problem. It's an age old issue with Interlagos.
Apart from Vettel's spin no one was really going off too severely on extremes, to see Vettel spin like that and then switch to inters was absurd.
Bridgestone used to have some amazing wet tires. I remember their inters would last forever.
That Manor 
Kimi....
Whose wets had lost temp behind the SC because of drivers gambling on inters.
spinning out on a straight like that is just scary, lucky not to take other cars out.
How much was Raikonnen shitting it when he spun across the track. That in car angle of the car just swerving to avoid him was scary.
when he was spinning , I bet he was just waiting to be hit.
5 second penalty , they did not believe the puncture rubbish.
Thankfully it didn't happen.
Seems very generous. Drivers have been DSQed for similar in the past.
FIA have said all cars must be on full wets, no shit sherlock.
and we are off again, under the SC.
apparently there is heavy rain coming that will last for 55 mins !!
That safety car beats the F1 cars on every turn
SC must have led more laps than Lewis.
This is not a race. So what's the bloody point?
They should just cancel it.
Red Flag again?
