I understand where you're coming from, and I like the way he races too, but it's not about that. I would want him to have a long and fruitful career.
He can still worry about the race he's in currently by dialing it back and knowing that he is strong enough to out-kick or out-sprint pretty much anyone at the end if needed and still realize his goal of winning the race.
I'm not saying he should stop doing long-range attacks altogether as that's just in his character and he'd be going against who he is which will take the fun out of racing for him and, in turn, for us. But sometimes it's just not necessary imo, and he'd be much happier for it when his next big target rolls around.
