In Formula 1 (but also in all of motorsport) different tyre colours represent different rubber compounds.

The green (wet) tyres are for rain/water on most of the track. The white (hard) tyres generally resist more laps but have lower performance compared to softs

Having the right tyres is extremely important in races where endurance is the focus (that all of F1 is)

The mugs are merging the tyres and the jokes.

Um, ackshually the blue tyres are the wet tyres in F1 and the green ones are the intermediate tyres. But honestly they never really use the blue ones since in the conditions where they would be necessary they almost always stop the race for safety reasons.

To be fair I am stuck on these on my knowledge

And yeah, they never use past intermediate, at least never seen them. So they pretty much are the wet tyres.

Motorsports use colors for easy identification of different types of tires.
