Why F1 drivers don't like Pirelli’s wet tyres, and how it plans to fix them

Seeing full wets in action during a race weekend has become a rare sight in Formula 1. The main reason for that is visibility, as when there’s significantly more water than – let's say – was seen during the British GP at Silverstone, high levels of spray greatly hinder visibility on track.
