There is a reason Canada has over 30% of the world's fresh water supply.

they changed at Monaco...

THC surely if everyone can change to a wet set up then RBR have no clear advantage

It's TCG

I read somwhere that under Redflag they can change setups as it's no longer parque ferme. But I am only paraphrasing, I don't know the rules.

So a little off the current state, why are the stewards investigating the Button Hamilton incident? IMO it was Button's fault, but it was an inteam incident. I'd think the FIA would let them take care of this in house.

He didn't sound as confident in his PoV as he does usually. Sound broke up towards the end, so didn't hear the full interview.

That's why it's so wet, it's Lewis's tears.

How is it Button's fault, firstly he was following the racing line, secondly, Lewis's front tyre hit Button's rear, he was hardly alongside, and thirdly it's unlikely that Button did NOT see Lewis for the amount of spray.

I see it TCG's way.

This is cool. First time I have seen specialty machines to take standing water of a track. I always wondered why circuits don't have such specialty machines.

To me it looked like Button hit Lewis. He may not have seen him, but Button still turned into his teammate.
