The topic of safety has become a major talking point ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix in the wake of the recent fatal accident of youngster Dilano van 't Hoff in a wet Formula Regional European Championship at the track.
Some have suggested that the incident requires the FIA to be extra cautious about the conditions it deems acceptable to race in.
But double world champion Verstappen thinks that there needs to be some realism that visibility will always be worse in the wet – so chasing perfect conditions is an impossible target.
"It's bad, but it has been bad for a very long time," the Red Bull driver said about visibility with the current generation of F1 cars.
"So, I don't think there is a lot at the moment that we can do about it."
Verstappen said he had faith that F1 race director Niels Wittich was qualified enough to make the right call.
"We have spent quite a bit of time in briefings, and I think also from his side, he's done quite a few races now," he said of Wittich.
"I think he'd also listen to the safety car a bit, and I think he will know if it's safe or not. But the visibility is going to be bad anyway.
"Otherwise, we cannot have any rain races anymore."
