The year is 2032, pirelli introduces the new "Super-semi-inter-softs" as part of an effort to smooth the performance gap between the C16 and C17 compounds.

In all seriousness though, it seems like an issue definitely in need of a solution. The wet racing is plagued by many things and it seems both pirelli and F1 are scrambling to fix some of them, but the general vibe i got from this article is that perhaps they aren't communicating enough what the goals are. Is the main problem the spray? Or how about the speed? Certainly an interesting problem, the best wet tire in the world means nothing if the teams just switch to a faster tire the moment they think they can get a way with it. Great read, thanks!
