Wet tires will probably never be used (unless enforced), even if the conditions are clearly full wet.
Teams are so greedy with staying on the inters so that even if some drivers pit for full wets, the race will inevitably be red flagged because someone staying on the inters will crash, which then makes you look silly for pitting for full wets a lap or two earlier.
Granted that they reinstated the positions of the previous lap so Perez is actually fine, but let Zhou crash one lap later and Red Bull would’ve been punished with Perez for doing the right thing for safety and to try and keep the race going.
Full Wets should be mandated for all teams in these conditions for a set # of laps. That would eliminate the teams gamesmanship, increase safety and avoid the embarrassing red flags. F1 is so poorly run.
I call the full wets “red flag tyres” cos we never see them on a car during a race for more than a lap without a red flag
The teams say that the wet tires are unusable. Pirelli would need to rework the formula for this compound for the teams to be happy with it
I think it’s more about the visibility rather than the tyre compound.
The ground effect cars suck all the water up and spray it into the air, making it dangerous for anyone outside the first few positions
When Alpine gets on the podium
For those who are complaining: Jules Bianchi died under similar conditions in Suzuka 2014.
Yup, and more recently Dilano van 't Hoff in Spa. :’( Okay, that was Formula 4 and not 1, but similar circumstances.
If anything, it took too much time to red flag the race. Zhou was in a very dangerous position.
If everyone had been on full wets then it would have been fine behind the safety car, but they don’t pit because they expect a red flag. Catch 22

The reason for the red flag will be because Zhou was in the firing line of anyone going off at turn one. Even at low speeds it could be fatal if someone went off into his stationary car or the recovery vehicle.

Exactly, in the Bianchi-incident Sutil was very very lucky that he didn’t get killed.
Yeah but then you’re putting the marshals in danger by having them recover the car with cars on the track in such conditions
Merc nightmare of a strategy, wow.
They really cocked it up
So happy for Gasly.
He was really happy himself :D
Same
Absolute disaster for Tsunoda. Couldn’t have imagined the race going any worse for Yuki if I tried.
What happened to Yuki? He was in 13th and then suddenly 16th, TV coverage showed nothing 😞
Yeah, I thought he also got a penalty post crossing the line. Because one second he was ahead of Lawson, and then he was in 16.
Why are they so obsessed about the Max-Perez pit stop. It wouldn’t matter, Max would pass Perez in a couple of laps anyways. He got the gap down from 10 to 2.5 sec.
It’s absolutely insane. Verstappen is on another plane of existence this season.
According to Dutch social media the DJ started his Red Flag set with a song about “raining beer”.
Sargeant’s going to pull out a picnic basket lol

That slowmo of the redbull pit stop was incredible
Already more entertainment than the previous two years.
I bet we’ve already had more overtakes than last year.
With rain in the distance I am a bit baffled by Lewis decision to try and do a longer first stint, big time gamble
Whatever weather god: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
Jesus christ that rain came from somewhere :o
Welkom to de Nedderlands!
