While this would obviously be advantageous for the vast majority of situations, I also can't help but be annoyed how it may have a detrimental effect on racing.

  This was a VERY dramatic finish. True. BUT a. all the teams get the same weather feed. I doubt even a top f1 team can afford a custom weather analysis. b. Even if they could, its a cost trade off. The evil capitalist PE which bought F1 has introduced budget limits to level the competition. So if u have a better weather prediction you have to give up on an custom wing package, or whatever. c. Most teams had 2 cars in the running. So they simply split the strategy, sending one car to pit early, and the other on the track. This is probably the optimal strategy EVEN if you have a small edge in weather prediction. Redbull for example popped Verstapen into 2nd place, but Perez tumbled from 3rd to 8th or something. d. Finally, Norris simply chose to stay out DESPITE the weather prediction. Setting emotions aside, a young driver has a different risk-payoff calculus. e. Dont forget the plan to put sprinkles on the track !! You cant predict those ;)) EDIT: spelling
