Haas driver Oliver Bearman asked Max Verstappen and Nico Hülkenberg for advice about possible wet conditions at Sepang, where he has not raced before. Verstappen gave him a playful answer rather than a tyre recommendation: rain makes the track wet and slippery, and the choice between intermediate and full-wet tyres depends on how wet it gets. The exchange took place at a pre-race press conference reported by RacingNews365. [1]
Bearman said the circuit could dry quickly after rain. He thought the weekend might bring the first substantial running of the year on intermediate and full-wet tyres, but was unsure how they would behave. He said he had heard unfavourable comments from people who had tested the rain tyres, while suggesting the heat might make them easier to use. [1]
