It's a huge risk. I'm not sure it's wet enough and I'm questioning it already. The track doesn't seem to damp.

Inters on both cars

Keep the inters alive and we will be golden.

[FittingMechanics]

Wow, that is unexpected.

Why didnt we split the strategy..?

[Darth-Piekus]

But the track isn't wet anywhere. Why intermediates? I feel a bad decision already.

[FNTC]

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

I have no idea but the extra formation might help here

[Mcl_G10]

Held too long at the start fgs! Antonelli false start too?

[Darth-Piekus]

Can it rain now so it can wet the track cause we are screwed if it doesn't.

[emp]

Stupid strategy. At least split it between them. They are so so safe every time.

[Slahinki]

A bit perplexed at the choice of starting tires, track looks pretty dry.

[Mcl_G10]

Everyone's tyres getting colder by the second.

[FNTC]

Their forecast says rain according to Piastris race engineer. He wanted to pit for slicks.

[Darth-Piekus]

Yeah they are gonna pay for it dearly and they will be forced to do an extra pit stop. Unless something changes it's a clearly bad idea and who thought of it.

Even if Norris gets an early lead he won't hold it as the inters will die quickly on dry tarmac.
