F1 considering ditching "wet" tires

[G30M]

Nobody uses the wet tyres to race in F1. I think all BMW owners with Pirelli knows why. F1 considerings dropping wets apparently. Not sure if it solves the spray issue.

No, I believe it's the extreme wets.

I wonder what or if that means anything about climate change.

Lol.



Since the hybrid era, the cars are just absolute shit in the wet. The aero produces a ton of spray and it’s just dangerous to race. Races are delayed instead of letting them run wets. Even the greens are rarely used because they’re just not reliable.

I agree. Bring back the V10s.

I want the 6 wheeled Tyrel back.

I seems obvious to me that the FIA will continue to delay races that are true "wet tire" races. If that's the case, dump the rains and help their "Green" numbers by reducing tire manufacture, shipping and disposal costs of rain tires.
