They keep having to look for water on those tires. I love races in the rain. Brings back those memories from ayrton. Spectacular in the rain.

Looks like a lot of the teams are going with dry tires.

What is the motivation behind the soft versus the dry. Does the hard compound absorb less water for contact patch?

Yes, well done. Probably ill-advised of Hamilton to duke it out with him when he really didn' t need to ... but I guess that's why he's out there in a top F1 car and I'm watching him from my living room!

I'm assuming you mean the difference between the two dry tires, i.e., the hard and soft? I'm guessing the difference is primarily the same as what they'd consider for a dry race ... i.e., if the car was better on hard compounds, they'd go with the hard compounds. I can't imagine one is better or worse than the other for evacuating water ...
