The commentary team seemed pretty clear on it, if the race was called dry, we’d see a safety car and everyone would pull in and change to slicks.
I remember thinking it was going to take the sport out of “making the call”.
If this wasn’t the case, it does make the Booth/Heimgartner calls to change onto slicks odd indeed… The only way it’d make sense to change is if you know you can make up the time (and they change was only ever going to be worth 4second a lap at best, less than a third of the gain they needed), if you think the Wets are going to start falling off cars (and that would have been a bold bold call that early on) or they believed there was going to be a safety car as the commentators had said.
Be interesting to see where the commentators got the safety car idea from.
