Luca finally made his first pitstop of the afternoon at Lap 32—a very late stop given the conditions. In fact, he was the last to pit.
Despite his tires holding up better than expected, Luca had started to feel the effects of the wet track. He experienced occasional hydroplaning, and his system kept flashing warnings that the tires were on their last legs. If he didn't pit soon, he risked much more severe consequences.
As the rain intensified, the patter of the droplets growing louder and heavier, Luca could already tell those consequences were fast approaching. The slippery track was only going to get worse.
Mr. Berry commended Luca for his skill in managing the tires up to this point. He acknowledged how well Luca had handled the conditions but reminded him to take the same level of care with the new wets now fitted to his car.
Analysis: Wets ideal for current track conditions—optimal grip for wet surface detected.
