Fia has not declared wet race yet so they might have to stop twce if it drives.
Edit: No Bernie collins says if they start on inters they dont have to use two slicks
So they can go to the end on these mediums.

Ok, let's see. Quitie a strange strategy but it could have easily been a red flag/SC.

The strategy whenever they try something riskier is always so TERRIBLE.

Honestly I like the strategy, but if it was up to me I would split them. I know they tend to not do that because they want to keep it fair.

But if they can make that into a one stopper, maybe it can work out.

I don't think being behind slower cars losing time will help them now.

We will have to see how it all plays out with any safety cars etc.

If maxs pace doesnt hold then he could hold others up for us.

It's still dissapointing as you need a SC to save the situation. I don' t see how Norris can save it that much behind.
