but only if you finish in the top 10
Great. Another one of those unnecessary irritations that takes something that could have been perfectly simple and makes it arbitrarily stupid.
Not sure if this will add anything to the race, or just be a distraction in the last handful of laps when someone running in 6th or 7th with a 30s cushion comes in to strap on a pair of soft tyres and go for a glory run.
It may manifest itself more interestingly if the title fight is really close and single points start to matter enough for the leaders to start taking more risks.
Wet race in Brazil with the title going down to the wire? Tasty.
