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
