My mom: who’s that driver?

Me: That’s Pierre Gasly! (My favourite driver)

My mom: Oh, why is his hair so messy?

Me: Because of the helmet mom 😂

Cadwell Park, August 2020.

Further to my previous post. This image shows just how wet it was on Saturday race day at Cadwell Park two weekends ago. I had already crashed twice prior to this race. I was pushing on here and with just half a lap to go I figured I could get a third place finish but it wasn’t to be. I tried just a little too hard and ended up on my arse again to complete a trio of crashes in one day. A first for me but gotta go down to learn I suppose. I sorted the bike and was out first thing the following day to score a few points in both my race classes. 

Action shot: Tim Holderness.

F1’s Wet Track Gamble: Slicks or Straight Into the Wall

The Rain Crossover Window When Slicks Become Courage and Not Stupidity

Rain Crossover Window explains the split-second F1 tyre call that turns wet races into nerve, data, danger, and sudden opportunity on track.

Rain races do not turn on bravery alone.

They turn on one cruel question: is the track dry enough for slicks, or just dry enough to lie?

That is the rain crossover window. The racing line starts to shine black. Intermediates begin to feel lazy. Sector times tease the pit wall. Then someone has to decide whether the next stop wins the race or sends the car sliding toward a barrier.

The worst part is the out lap.

Cold slicks. Damp kerbs. Painted lines. A pit exit that has not dried like the main circuit. From the TV camera, the car only wiggles. Inside the cockpit, that wiggle is the whole race trying to escape through the rear axle.

That is why wet F1 strategy is so addictive.

One lap early can look foolish.

One lap later can look genius.

And sometimes both drivers made the same call. One just found grip first.
