When u aquaplane.....U goes almost to zero so F also goes to almost zero but the N is always present. When F goes to zero, then all hell break loose! For your example of F1 car....yes they are lite but the weight of car is compounded by the Force coming from the Aerodynamic Aids.....wings, spoilers and bodywork.  Of course, as you can see there's a limit to everything so even F1 cars crash in rain......likewise, there's a limit on how much water can be channeled off by your tyre grooves so if you exceed that, the water lifts up the tyres and VIOLA, no more U, no more grip..... Hope I made some sense cos I think I confuse myself! he he he<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
