I posted this as a reply above , but my guess is that inters aren ' t meant to be used in hydroplaning conditions . Thus , Pirelli are less concerned about water removal on the straights and more concerned with the corners , where the camber lets the tire sit flat on the track . If you notice , the wets aren ' t symmetrical . They need to be effective in the straights as well as the corners . Edit I usually like Britishisms , but hydroplaning definitely sounds cooler than aquaplaning . <| sep |> It just doesn ' t mean they are probably lying about the initial eventsDoesn ' t it though ? For those of us who have never met any of the people involved , and can only reasonably judge the case based on what was presented in court , I don ' t see how you can say , well the evidence was weak and he should be have been acquitted . but I still think he did it . wut ? Other than personal bias and unsubstantiated allegations , what reason do you have to believe he did it ?
