Taking you thought a stage further, all F1 needs to do is mandate the installation of a quick drying track surface, starting with the most "at risk" (of rain) tracks.
So Spa, obviously, and then pick another half a dozen from the rest of the runners.
I would think some sort of under-track vacuum and heating system would do it. Maybe subcontract the design to one of the teams to make sure it is done the right way and controlled by the right people.
After all, we would not want a heated track to be used dubiously for tyre warming purposes, nor a vacuum system that might supplement the effects of aero, would we?
Plan "C" would be to revert to running races badly affected by rain as a SIM event. Let all the damp and disappointed spectators join in to see if they can beat the regular drivers. That should keep them happy.
