    Awesome race but I’m going to echo something I read online I agree with

    There should be no inters … Either run on Wets or risk slicks

    In inters, the race becomes Monaco where nobody dates to pass because if you leave the dry line you are fucked. On Wets it should be a normal race (albeit a slower speed one) and then, the first ballsy team to get the timing right on slicks would get a massive advantage… But it would be a risky move (like a game of chicken)

      What a genious idea, lets give the teams less safe options and force them to take absolutely insane risks in difficult conditions.

        They will stay on Wets and complete at slower speeds… Then switch to slicks when a race is a possible so it does not run into a parade of the dry patch
