So the cars are all on slicks and its raining in turn 1. Instead of racing like normal people they decide the track is too wet for slicks and too dry for wets so they'll just wait it out. So that makes me wonder...if the race started under rain and everyone was on wets, then the rain quit and the sun dried the track would they red flag the race until the track was dry enough for slicks??? Race damn it!!!

Goodyear doesn't provide intermediates. I don't think they would red-flag your hypothetical race, but if they just have to wait a few minutes for the the rain to pass, might as well wait.

Seriously, I don't know why they can't let the teams decide when to use them.

From watching qualifying it looked like they struggle making left and right turns in the dry.

Do you have to go to the back of the grid for that?

What's the point of bringing rain tires and putting a windshield wiper on the car if ya ain't gonna race in the rain?

Simple tire dynamics, the tread blocks hold temperature to the point that if there isn't water to cool them, they blister and come apart, that's part of why Intermediates are so useful because their thinner blocks don't hold as much heat.
Also, because Goodyear said so and they know a lot more about their tires than anyone on here does.
