The new wide Pirelli F1 rain tires throw up such a huge rooster tail of water in the wet the cars behind will not be able to see a thing and will be forced to drop back, making all the rain races a no-passing parade.

And it's obvious the gap between the haves and the have-nots has grown even wider this year with the new high downforce wide tires rules.

The mental midgets of F1 have struck again.
