Good stuff.

The rubber debate is a pretty easy one. Take NASCAR for example... If the track is clear Friday and Saturday and gets rubbered in, but a rainstorm swings by Sunday morning before the race, the track is going to have lost a ton of grip.

In F1... think of how Monaco gets faster as the weekend progresses.
