That's good for keeping stability and driveability in the wet. However, in the dry it'll mean the diffuser is much less efficient. So that way your car can have less downforce despite a bigger rear wing.
I dont think they went for a wet setup, I think they just misjudged the amount of rear wing to run and ran too much. It just so happened to help them in the damp Qualifying, but hurt them in the dry race.
