The Interlagos circuit is noted for its inclement weather. Did the teams all think that it would be a damp race or wet. Judging by the choice of tyres I would suggest someone cocked it up.!!!!
They had the choice of wet, or inters. They chose wrongly. And they paid for it big time. I seem to recall many times in previous years that the circuit has suffered from a deluge of rain, and at that part of the circuit, it has always been the last to dry. What were the master tactitions doing on their study of the circuit. I agree that the tyre rule is silly. But it only needeed one team to twig what might happen and they would have had 1st and 2nd on the podium.
I suppose with hindsight everyone has 20/20 vision. But then I am not paid a fortune to tell people what to do. Unlike the geniuii who run F1 teams.
