If its wet all the time, then McLaren aren’t as unbeatable.
However if there is a transition period with changing conditions from wet to dry, both McLarens just completely decimate the competition and there’s almost no chance to beat them. Been like this since last year at the latest.
Silverstone and Canada 2024 are prime examples. McLarens just hanging in when the track was wet, then as soon as it starts drying in places, they go 1.5s faster than RedBull and Mercedes. Insane pace.
Pretty much, though Mclaren
is still the best car in constant wet conditions as well. Best low+mid speed aero, the best front end, great engine driveability, plus they get their tires up to temperature so effortlessly. It's just that Max at least has a
chance of simply out-driving the Mclaren duo through sheer skill superiority.
But with Spa, it's almost never just 'consistently the same wetness the whole time over the whole track', and when it is that kind of more constant or heavier rain, race direction will often just red flag things anyways.
