Well tyre temperatures are both surface and core. I have no idea if it’s physically possible or not but I could see how it might cool the core. Having said that these tyres heat to around 100 degrees and so, how long would the advantage last? The water would heat to par and / or boil off in no time.
F1 2024 Season

- Start date
RedBull tried this a few years ago themselves and it was instantly banned by the FIA.Besides all of the tyres are returned to pirelli post race, used or unused for analysis.
Id be utterly amazed if this were true.
If herbert 'michael masi's', Norris into a WDC title, then I'm all for it.
It's always Red Bull stiring the pot, awful team
Looks like they've pencilled in a qualifying start time
Good question and I have no idea , I presume the picks will be ok just no point for pole , that’s if there is no qualifying.
I don't think we are getting qualifying unfortunately
It's getting too dark. I did not think it will happen. Apparently very wet tomorrow morning.
Now would they have gone out on that track as it is currently in the 90s?
Hulkenberg for Williams and Magnussen in the Hass took pole in similar conditions to what we have now. Some of the smaller teams must be relishing this.
Maybe I have selective memory but I don't remember any qualifying being cancelled/postponed because of rain in the 90s
Yep. Id send them out. Remember some awful qually conditions in spa and Malaysia,when we got shock pole positions due to the rain.
730pm uk time now if they run.
They really need to sort the tyres/cars so we can see wet racing/qualifying, it is what makes for the most exciting results as you often end up with a grid that's all over the place, and you get to truly admire the skill of the drivers
I know there was what happened with Jules, which was a tragic, freak accident, but perhaps to negate anything like that happening they implement a rule if any recovery vehicles need to enter the track, it's red flagged and it can't enter until everything is stationary
Also feel bad for the fans who have paid money and stayed there despite the weather and probably won't even get any sort of refund. Like that absolute FARCE in Belgium a few years back where the fans got 2 laps behind the SC

That said, they didn’t have a full wet tyre like Pirelli. The full wet is a large contributor why we have moments like this where it doesn’t shift the water terribly well. Spray is another challenge.
Looking on Sky rain is still heavy , also it looks like it’s getting dark also , can’t see it happening
Why not use the sprint qualifying grid? Closest thing to a proper qualifying session
Obviously want to see the normal qualifying but I don't think we are getting it

Good idea , if it can’t happen even on Sunday , thought they used FP1 timings
Qualifying is not going to yo happen tonight is it
This lad is laying it on a bit thick. Yes there is still a lot of standing water and too wet for F1 cars, but he's claiming he's going to show us a river of water over by the hoarding, they zoom in and there's no water flowing at all.
I think they could have gone out...
Feel sorry for those fans

Yes FP1 results, Verstappen could be in big trouble
The Qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix is postponed.
"The decision was taken due to the lack of visibility caused by the level of rain we have experienced in the past few hours. There is a lot of standing water on parts of the circuit which renders conditions unsafe.
"As much as we would all like to see competition on track, the safety of drivers, team members, volunteers, officials and spectators is our main priority.
"A decision on a start time for Qualifying tomorrow morning will be taken as soon as possible."
Remember, the Grand Prix itself is scheduled for 5pm UK time tomorrow, so qualifying will run - weather permitting

Fairly sure they had an F2 grid recently decided based on free practice timings. Strange the rules aren't there for F1
Anyways I think they will have a qualy session tomorrow
F1 isnt the sport of balls it used to be.
Yes they absolutely would have.
No question. And everyone would be drooling at how Schumi would lap everyone.
I know it sucks but I'd rather they cancel than let them race now. People still die motor racing and it just isn't worth it if you can avoid it.
They can use the actual sprint results although I agree the sprint shootout or whatever that shite is called these days is the better option.
The weather for Sunday is not much better than today if at all
My gut feeling is no qualifying and a delayed race.

Has a race ever been cancelled due to rain or held on a Monday ?
didn’t they have to cancel silverstone 2021 because of all the crying red bull did when lewis didn’t cede to a max divebomb?
You never disappoint. In a disappointing way.
There was that absolute farce in Belgium a couple of years ago where they dithered and dithered, went out for about 2 laps behind the SC and gave half points
They can’t. Generally all the marshal’s, hired medical personnel have day jobs
Qualifying to start at 10.30am on Sunday, with race start moved earlier to 3.30pm amid threat of rain.
At last somebody with some forward thinking bringing forward the race time.

Don't understand why they don't just give them all jetskis and let them race
Still not confident of anything.

2 laps behind the safety car at Spa was a cancellation to my eyes.

I'm glad they solved swearing though.
If it looks like they can't race I hope they don't do the procession bs again and just call it a nil pt event.
Or only give pts to drivers with balls.
