Speaking of weight and rain, here's something from CN on the Le Mans race:

Obviously, given the conditions, tire choice made all the difference -
especially if the choice was Bridgestone over Michelin. The latter hadn't
anticipated the rain would be so heavy, and recommended all teams to use a
medium-to-hard wet tire. Only Pedrosa had his usual softer choice. "I'm
really happy with the result, because this was a hard race, and we came
through strongly," he said. Rossi described his last five laps as "the
most difficult of my career".

And of course Hayden crashed out two laps from the end on his harder
tires. So it seems tire selection was the deciding factor at the end, and
Pedrosa'a choice wasn't based on a weather guess, rather was his usual
softer selection based on reduced wear due to his much lighter weight.

It's good to be a dwarf in GP...
