Nope, if the race director/marshalls believe that to be the case, they'll wave a black/orange flag at the car telling it it needs to come in to be repaired as it's unsafe. The incident was rather silly imo but understandable that they wanted to wait a lap for the slicks to come in to play. It was rather out of character for someone who has been a great contender by always scoring points while others are flying off the track. It reminded me of an incident a few years back with Kimi driving a damaged car and Alonso chasing him down. Kimi gambled for the win and stayed out.
