    Their gamble on high downforce for a wet race unfortunately hasn’t paid off. If it suddenly starts bucketing it down then Lando can still make a solid comeback if they play the strategy right

      They didn’t gamble at all. They don’t have a slim wing upgrade, so if they used one, it would be too inefficient in terms of drag/downforce ratio. They have an upgrade planned for Monza obviously.

        Oh interesting, appreciate the info. I thought even their Silverstone wing was less extreme than this one? Unless they just thought that was too inefficient to even consider
