Weather like last weekend and two cars lost control by same patch of puddle. Race control should know by EXPERIENCE (or past experience like what happened to Martin Brundle), the chances reoccurring accidents will increase exponentially.

Like I proposed previously, race control should review and study improvements on how Formula 1 should run. Under severe weather and safety of drivers and marshals.
Agree 100%.

There was also a very questionable situation in the dry at the German Grand Prix with a car stranded on the track and no safety car. I read that Perez wants a safety car anytime a car need to be recovered, even in the dry. From that experience maybe he is right. Maybe the level of management skills and pressure from sponsors and teams, race standings etc. can influence safety too much in these situations and it should be mandatory.
