Last weekend at the F1 imola Grand Prix it was drizzling a bit for part of qualifying. 5 red flags from cars that spun off and weren’t able to recover. So like 25% of the best drivers in the world will crash into a wall if it’s drizzling, because even the intermediate tires (they have some tread), have nothing compared to normal consumer tires.
