The year is 2032, pirelli introduces the new "Super-semi-inter-softs" as part of an effort to smooth the performance gap between the C16 and C17 compounds.

In all seriousness though, it seems like an issue definitely in need of a solution. The wet racing is plagued by many things and it seems both pirelli and F1 are scrambling to fix some of them, but the general vibe i got from this article is that perhaps they aren't communicating enough what the goals are. Is the main problem the spray? Or how about the speed? Certainly an interesting problem, the best wet tire in the world means nothing if the teams just switch to a faster tire the moment they think they can get a way with it. Great read, thanks!

The problem is the spray not the tyre itself. At the wetness level at which the wets are relevant, the spray is so much that we can't race. By the time we can get back to racing, it is no longer wet enough for wets

How about just not making the full wets absolutely useless?

I think the next rule set needs to seriously incorporate the back spray into the designs to mitigate it. With climate change we’re only going to be racing in the wet more and more.

With climate change happening, it could be a good idea. But still can't see it addressing spray problems. Radar on the cars? AR HUDs?
