Verstappen has offered to test wet-weather F1 tyres to help Pirelli, feeling cars could cope better with the rain in the past. 'If you saw what we could do in the '90s or the early 2000s, with the amount of water on the track...'
The delays in getting the Japanese Grand Prix going on Sunday have reopened the debate about whether or not F1 needs a rethink about cars being better able to cope with poor weather conditions.
Speaking after the rain-hit Suzuka event, Verstappen said he would be more than happy to work with Pirelli to try out some new ideas to help improve things. "You could see from one to the other lap, we went from the extreme to the inter today and we immediately went five seconds at least faster and that is just too big. And that's why nobody really wants to run that extreme."
