Depends on the dynamics of the rally and targets. If Saturday's points are enough for you and you don't mind X number of drivers taking your position that could sense. But if championship points are important why would you stop there? If Lappi is the example, his target was the rally win, and old and new points made no difference to his approach as he had the margin.

This conversation is going to be had again and again for the rest of the season with different dynamics appearing.
