F1 Nation · F1 Explains: High-Speed v Low-Speed tracks - with Jolyon Palmer · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

Cause you need down force on the car to um to to help slow the car down.

Uh navigate navigate corners.

Uh especially the faster corners again, you you've got the the faster you go, the more uh aerodynamics becomes a a bigger factor, more downforce you need.

So yeah, in in the wet.

You just need you need down force on the car.

It's the biggest thing.

Yeah, it g it can be really tricky because also you need to make sure that in when it rains, sometimes the tires can get can fall out of the window if it's really wet and you're not on a you're on a sort of one of the cooler Silverstone days.

You might actually need to keep the tires fired up.

So you have to commit.

You have to commit because the tires will keep working and

you've got downforce working at high speed.

So uh yeah, definitely that.

The people always say that sort of rain is the great equalizer.

In some ways it is because driver skill has a much bigger impact than the performance of the cars, but still the cars with the most downforce will thrive when it's wet.

The one thing is when it's when it's wet, everything becomes a little bit less power sensitive because your traction zones are so much longer.

Getting to full throttle takes a lot longer.

So if you've got a really weak

Power unit, if you're Honda right now, a wet day might be quite good.

Uh if your strength is the power unit, you don't want it to be wet.

The biggest thing if it's if it's wet and the wetter it is, is even more important is down force.
