Kuibica might have also gotten points except for a stupid mistake but it seems there were a lot of stupid mistakes that race.
I also noticed a higher incidence of off-track excursions. It seems the lack of traction control is making a difference. I hope that no serious accidents occur this year. One accident was pretty bad as it was.
