You need to remember that F1 cars will change to wet-weather tyres when its raining heavily which will give them more resistance to aquaplaning than the tyres we use under  the same condition. Actual contact area on the road remains the same whether you use wide or narrow tyres. Wider tyres have to work harder during rain because it has to dispel more water from the road to maintain grip. A good wide tyre designed for wet roads will resist aquaplaning better than an ordinary narrow tyre but as you go faster, the tyres cannot remove all water from the road to maintain grip and this may cause aquaplaning.</blockquote>
