Piastri and Norris got a new Merc PU + Turbo , so they should be fine at Spa .
It's impossible to push max. PU (HP) output in the rain , by the lack of traction.
It's just too slippery and tricky to run with full power in the wet.
The McLaren car balance is astonishing ,and that's also a big advantage in the rain.
