Why would anybody want a wet race at Monaco, it would be the worst possable thing...

It's ironic that most posters are hoping for rain that will cause unpredictability due to the potential for sudden loss of grip, yet most everyone seems to want to ditch the grooved tires for big fat sticky slicks as planned next year.

im hoping for a downpour RIGHT before grid walk giving the teams the hard choice of starting on inters or drys. thats when things get interesting. a constantly drying track, more than likely completely dry by the first stops. start on wets and TRY to hold someone off, or start on inters, and become a shark smelling blood after about 5 laps in.

I am not sure if rain will make much difference on Sunday.
After qualifying spots are set, Monaco is a chu chu train. A wet Monaco could just be a slower chu chu train.

Rain will bring Safety cars that will break up the train with that silly pit closing rule.

Rain is the great equalizer,while it does slow the race down it makes it very interesting to watch. Also there is no traction control this year so it really puts the onus on the driver

More mechanical grip, less aero, no tire warmers, like GP2.
