Does not interfering also include not going for the fastest lap, as it was possible Alonso could have done last weekend...? Edit: I've had a look at the points and can't see a scenario where that would affect a full race. A half race, however.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could affect a full race if Lewis and Max finish far enough down the order that the difference between their positions is one point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they’ll be going to hards; hence the medium being preferred. Max will be forced into an earlier stop and a longer stint on the hard, whilst Lewis will be able to go longer before swapping. If it was soft -> medium versus medium -> soft I think it would be much less significant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Collier Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I can't believe I'm saying this but I fully expected LH to have to give the place back but that said the stewards normally take a lenient view on the first lap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
