Dixon was there to take it. Not the first time for Dixon doing that.
I'd much rather see that than a leader for 25 laps getting passed in the last 2 corners by being drafted and then hung out.

Yup. The Racer interview with Dixon shows he went with a two stop strategy because of the early yellow. He did execute the strategy to perfection.
There is no top level series that does not have some measure of tire management and/or fuel savings.
