I guess the FIA are caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to these kind of things. They need the aero for when its wet in order to have grip, however they say the increased aero wake is kicking up more spray. Then there is the arguemnt about aquaplaning, again a conundrum, they want wider tyres when its wet to clear the standing water, but monsoon conditions cause the wider tyres to aquaplane. My understanding of how it worked with the older Bridgestone tyres was that the monsoon tyre was actually a narrower tread, I am guessing to combat exactly that - the likelihood of aquaplaning. I assume F1 doesnt have a monsoon tyre any more though, since any such conditions now automatically renders it undriveable in the eyes of the race stewards.
