    How do you even fix that? At this point driving on the wrong tyre is an optimal strategy. Either:

    • Driver stays on inters and calls for red flag cause it’s undrivable
    • Driver on inters crashes because they should be on wets, causing a red flag
    • someone (like RB today) pits for wets and gets punished because someone else crashed out and caused a red flag

    Also I’m not fooled by drivers moaning about how wets suck and have no grip; as long as inters are even 0.1 a lap faster than wets, everyone will want to run inters. I don’t think there’s place for two wet weather compounds since everyone will pick the ‘faster’ one regardles of weather.
