No this is not a joke at all. First of all, the drivers will start the race with a dry weather setup, apart from some changes that can be made on the start grid, but more importantly, the drivers will have to drive through rivers of water on the circuit on intermediate tyres. Not the special raintyres, as with the one-tyre-rule this year, tyremanufacturers are only allowed to bring one type of wet tyre a race. Because of a very small chance of rain in Brasil, both Michelin and Bridgestone took the intermadiates... look and see the dangers of the new regulation
