Personally I don't think the conditions or start time were to blame. Races in even worse conditions are played out nearly every year.
Perhaps track side procedures are where the sport needs to look into. ie, when one car slides off in wet conditions, should the tractor come out immediately or wait for the yellow flags to have been waved for a good while further back down the road?
I worry that that the marshalls and tractor came out immediately after Sutil's initial crash before the other cars had finished negotiating the corner. If it had just been Sutil's car there when Bianchi slid off he would have been alright (assuming Sutil stayed in the cockpit till safe to leave).
But then we're getting into the subject of voluntary marshalls and whether the capacity is there to improve trackside accident procedures.
