Generally I like it. It feels more endurance racing.
Obviously in extreme conditions the restrictions can backfire, and equally just allowing infinite tyres can make it too easy.
But on balance I like it. Being able to double or triple stint tyres well should be a potential strategy. Or choosing to change only two or three.
I’d potentially tweak the rules so that changing tyres took even longer.
Would need to crunch some numbers to see whether this is reasonable, but I’d look at it.
