^^ Look at my post above. The tires are only part of the problem. With the new ground effects floors the spray coming out from the floor / diffuser appears to be thru the roof. And it was really f+++ed in 2021 and spa w/o the ground effects stuff. The tires are still part of the problem (and always will be) but the floors are absolutely making things worse. Add to that the full wets raises the ride height letting MORE air and spray into the tunnels. I can understand why the fenders would be a failure, all they'll do is catch and drip more water under the car. Block the tunnel exists.

Thankfully, rain has never kept a Spa race from happening.

ok. so again in sq1 & 2 max was in another time zone. In sq3 Oscar moved next door. WOW. I like that kid. Especially since Peter what's his name goes on and on about McLaren should have hired a true #2 instead of Oscar to protect Lando. He also still says the same about Merc and George. What a load of rubbish. If Lando can't keep up, then he needs to move over. :-)

Notice that Red Bull have not been 'heating' their Wets on the grid.

If they are going for 4 Formation lap AND THEN 15 laps - how does the fuel strategy fit.

What a joke of a sprint race.
What is the point of full wet tires if they run the whole thing under the SC. Its not even raining for gods sake
