You are wrong. You are talking about speeds of 300+kph. Despite all the precautions you can't cheat physics. In certain conditions the pilot will experience a G load that is simply fatal. The only benefit from all the safety measures then would be that they will be whole when you take them out of the cockpit.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I don’t see how he would know that. The drivers are instructed to report what they are seeing and feeling themselves, not guess what the other drivers may or may not see.
Wait till you watch football
Come he is experienced enought to know what it will be like.
OK so he gave his views from his point, I except that.

Times has definetly changed. I have seen races in much worse contidion than this but I can understand the safety first.
I thought they used to race in these sorts of conditions too
It’s a bit of a conundrum because if they raced, there’d be a chance to clear some of the water. But to get there there is a lot of risk. And the fact Spa is such a long track, you might end up with a soaking track again by the time the cars are back around.
This is one of the wettest race days I can remember.
Maybe a Japan GP 96 I think was wetter and a Monaco race , both red flagged.
It wouldn’t take a rocket scientist, the over spray is going to be wild if you haven’t got a clean run infront.
gutted with this delay, probs will be called off now
Why? Think they're still discussing whether or not he can start
So the time window has started and Perez can start the race.
The timer is running so this is all pointless unless they get going soon (which they won’t).
It would've got red flagged after a big crash within 1-2 laps if they had started at race time.
Don't understand how Perez can start.
So no coming back Monday.
Need one more lap for half points.

The timer started but I assume it was from 2.25 rather than 2
I agree, not starting the race is correct.
Sure he could make an educated guess but I don’t see why the guy in front should report on what he thinks it’s like for the other drivers.
They 100% will put the cars out there for a few laps just to classify the race, good for Russell/Williams if they do.
We won’t see an actual race though which is a massive shame.

From what I heard it started at the time the race should have started.
Fair enough, he would know it though
The race had not started, the stewards said. But the race is 43 now laps not 44, so had started.
Clear as mud.
Did this 4H thing change to 3H?
So surely Perez is down a lap?
German Sky only mentioned 3h
Same as UK sky. But I always thought the full race clock was 4, not 3, hours. Clearly I’m wrong but am still confused
F1 and all it’s time rules is fecking ridiculous. Feel sorry for the fans in the rain that probably paid hundreds to get there and see it, even if we get a break in the weather they might see 30 minutes of racing because of some arbitrary rule.
If anything we may get a couple of laps, for half points.
Race didn’t start so he couldn’t be a lap down, it was 2 formation laps
Agree. Light I can understand but not this silly time thing
why start the clock, such bullshit.
It's not like they even started the race. Perez will get lucky if we start which I don't think we will
Letting Perez start is a strange one, but it will be from the pit lane.
Sky just shown the track, parts look like a river
This isn’t starting today
I think it might, but behind a SC , just to get half points.
So 39 laps?!
So confused.
I don’t think this race is going again sadly.
