Why so? The weathermen say there's a good chance of rain. With everyone running on Bridgestones, it will be down to driver skill more than tyre grip (good for Kimi, but Alonso will be right up there too). More importantly though, the engines won't be pushed as hard (as drivers will have to be a bit more careful in the wet), so it won't get as hot. The cooler temperatures would certainly also help the engine. If Ferrari DO have problems with this engine spec, the rain may help them get away with it... at least for a week, when they get their new engines in Bahrain.
