Hamilton will get that too.

It is more likely for mid-tier teams to pick up the fastest lap point. The top tier teams won't push their engines nor potentially hurt their race strategy by hammering their tires. Mid-level teams with someone with good safe track position can come in late for their last stop put on the races softest compound and take a couple of flyers with low fuel. Those points can mean lots of extra money for the mid-tier teams. Given it looks like a Mercedes whitewash is possible Hamilton won't need to push for them.
