I don't mind the pit issue as much because I don't think it matters. The only time it'll be an issue is if Lando wins the title by less than 6 points as that's the swing that he gained from the switch. And that won't happen because he's just a better driver than Lando in terms of dealing with pressure. If Lando was actually on his tail right now, he'd fold like a sack of cards by Mexico and be out of contention.
It reminds me of the Michael/Rubens shenanigans in the early 00's where they were so far ahead of the competition that they could do silly things like try and get photo-finishes and swap wins for equality. However, I guess in that case only one of them was ever going to win the title. Lando still has a slim chance so there's a small difference.
