So what you're saying is... be alone in 3rd so when the first two cars wreck each other out with dumb passing attempts late in the race, you get the win?

Forced passes in open wheel cars rarely end well. I expect plenty of shenanigans. Which wouldn't be a huge deal except you know the FIA will penalize the drivers inconsistantly all season long for risky driving. Oh look Hamilton gets a 10 grid spot penalty, but Massa gets off scot-free, but Vettel gets docked 25 seconds, but Kubica loses 2 championship points... etc.
