Also there will be less strain on the cooling systems (although the teams would probably rather the cooling was given a full workout)
Ok I agree less strain on the cooling system particularly the electronics. Remember the engine is turbocharged and in the past dense cool air was beneficial, in 2014 the turbocharger is going to boost the air pressure and therefore density and heat it to over 450 degrees (the inter cooler will then cool it down). Therefore 10-20 degrees air temperature isn't going to make much difference
