There could be enough tire delta to promote overtaking, in addition, we will probably see more under / overcuts, the strategies will probably be more diverse in terms of when and for what compound to pit and with tires that are supposed to last for shorter stints, the drivers potentially will be able to push more during the race...
Hmmm, could, probably, probably, supposed, potentially. Lots of "maybe". So total finger in the air stuff then.
Simple, effective and fair for all teams
Except the teams that have done a good job, of course. It's " fair" for those teams that have done a poor job. They'll love it.

??? I don’t understand your comment... Any potential change to the current format implies a could, probably, supposed, potentially and lots of maybes unless of course you have a crystal ball? If you do, please send it over, I have some cash to invest in the stock market.
Why isn’t it fair to the teams that have done a good job? How are they penalized? They will still start at the front, they will still build a gap to the rest... It will be the same rules of engagement and not that different than forcing one stop today... The only things that it helps with is minimizing the tire management they have to do today... Teams avoid the 2-Stop because even if their pace would compensate for the time loss in the pits, it’s the fact that they have to overtake other cars and the loss in time that it implies that deters they from doing so.
Make it mandatory to stop twice and even if you don’t get more overtakes because of tire delta, even if you don’t have more under and overcuts or more strategic options or any of the other “potential benefits”, you at least won’t have as much tire management as you have today and that’s a good thing
