Seriously what is the point in wet tyres at all

To clear all the water off the track ready for inters obviously :rolleyes:

In conditions like these, why not spread the field out evenly over the track to help promote a dry line?

englishpremier · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:40

Haha even Button saying it's inter conditions.

Charlie has completely lost it.

Glaucus · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:40

Yep, what is the point of full wets, have we actually ever raced in full wets the last few seasons.

Flibster · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:41

Looks like I was pretty close with my prediction.

Going to be well into Inter conditions before the safety car comes in.

Because it would be boring, and give whoever is in first a ridiculous advantage. Once the race starts if it isn't raining the cars will dry out the track fast enough anyway.

So the additional delay wasting time behind the SC is going to mean the race doesn't make 75% distance, so only half points. Charlie could decide the WDC here.

Pathetic really, considering the race likely won't finish because of rain extending this period is completely god damned nuts.

Hamilton is going to have a problem here anyway in terms of either doing an extra lap on the wrong tire or being delayed by several seconds in the pits.

Raikkonen told he can follow the safety car in if he wants to go to Inters.

413x · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

I really can't believe this.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

PinkFloyd · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

Sigh, what a waste of time. Get the bloody safety car in! This is ridiculous. If the race had been dry start and the weather got this bad they'd still be racing.
Its like Korea all over again.

Greboth · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

Whey SC in, shame about 7 laps too late.

Finners · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

Let's do this!

Glaucus · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

Finally, f1 needs to get a clue.

SS-89 · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

wtf is the point in wet tyres, if they're just going to wait for the track to dry out :mad:

Edit: Finally!

friddela · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

Safety car in - Look out for the rain!

englishpremier · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:42

Well done. Just 3.5 laps too late.
