Carry on racing until track conditions make it unsafe to do so. See Malaysia 2009 for a perfect example.

And then say the whole thing is out of your control and move the start time 15 minutes earlier next year

Have always thought that if Conditions mean that the medical helicopter can't be used, then all track action stops?

History shows that they're happy to cancel practice or even qualifying, and happy to delay the start of a race. But once the action starts (and the viewing figures are up, not that I'm suggesting that's a link ) it takes a lot before the race is stopped.
As I said, see Malaysia 2009 for a recent example. There was no way a medical helicopter was going anywhere in that, yet it wasn't until half the field had slid off that the red flag appeared.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

I thought it was also on the basis of the medical helicopter being able to fly, but they managed to finish the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix in low fog, so I have no idea where they draw the line.
