What's the bet the likes of Max, Lewis, Seb and Fernando used to try this all the time in the past?

In fact, you know that Vettel at RBR tried to constantly lock in perfect weekends (pole, win, lead all laps, fastest lap). Heard Max going for it on the radio in the past, too.

It's just fake drama, really. Odds are the fastest car - the Merc in this case - will get it most of the time. If anything, it cements Merc's dominance even more. Here, have a practically free point.

Or, if someone else gets it - commentators will lose their shit that this changes everything - Merc is being challenged! - when in fact they'll still win most of the races and extend their lead.
Not just someone else but those in final top 10 are eligible to post the FL, which in itself is one of the these absurd rules F1 shoots itself with

On the other hand, it would look even more absurd if 11th to 20th place pitted two laps from the end of the race for new tyres and began 2 lap qualifying runs.

Either you make rules same for everyone or you create another elitist monster. At least the tailenders would have a chance which ain't unimportant past the final standings since F1 still awards cash for each championship points.

The less people who score points, the less prize money the FIA have to pay out....
