They will stay on Wets and complete at slower speeds… Then switch to slicks when a race is a possible so it does not run into a parade of the dry patch
IMO the inters are actually more dangerous because they permit more speed on the dry patch, but all it takes is stepping a few inches into the wetter area to go out flying.
And maybe I misinterpreted the “risk the slicks” part… I checked the original vid and they actually said something like only switch to slicks after the stewards give the go ahead, this will create a bit of a rush to switch to slicks ASAP or decide whether to stay out on wets a little longer (I think that approach is actually safer)
