Poll: Official 2025 British Grand Prix Race Thread - Silverstone Circuit, Northamptonshire - Race 12/24

No surprise for the SC, it looks crazy wet out there. 15 seconds lead for Piastri wiped!

SC is BS, its up to the drivers teams to pull them in for full wets.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Leclerc time 2:00.583 deleted - track limits turn 12 lap 13

Only slightly off the track there.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Again, what's the point of the wet tyre. Ridiculous.

This sport is embarrassing. A SC because it’s raining. Absolute joke.

100% - what a joke....

Briliant drive from Piastri so far - just scrap that now, lead gone

 

[muon]

In F3 they were racing in full wets until they started aquaplaning in wets, and a red flag was thrown.

 

[gilchrd]

SC? Let them put on wets FFS.

Agree modern F1 is a joke

Leclerc: got water in visor
Ferrari pit crew: must be the water

 

[englishpremier]

Does the race director not think the reason some of them fly off is because they aren't on full wets. Just force them onto full wets if you must, we don't need a safety car.

 

[SpartaP]

Quickest way to clear the spray is to let them race

 

[Yaayuh!]

Why the fudge is there a SC?!

 

[Flibster]

They'd rather risk the inters that work better for longer than wets that only really work on a fully wet track.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

It was such a good race up to this point, this is why I struggle to watch modern F1.

 

[muon]

Watch teams gamble onto slicks when SC is about to go in.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Now we're going to waste 10 minutes behind the safety car that wasn't even needed and it'll be half dry by the time they finish.

 

[Mad_Jay]

Why on earth do they fly the full wet tyres around the world when they never get used.

Drop the inter tyre, just have slicks and wets like the lower series. Would cut out things like this when drivers are aquaplaining on the wrong tyre when they won't use wets.

 

[andy_mk3]

Watch teams gamble onto slicks when SC is about to go in.

Absolutely no chance unless SC is out for like 10 laps.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I cancelled Sky Sports F1 a while back because i'd pretty much lost love for F1 in recent years.

Thought I'd watch this on C4 and well, yeah, nothings changed much huh.

 

[muon]

If the rain has stopped, SC should go in.
