I was somewhat wrong, I went back and checked the press conference from the launch of the series.
"You get more points for winning the race than just having the fastest time ... The main reason we do that is because of the lottery going on with the weather, with the race track changing, with the watering and other issues. Here, we believe that the most important thing is that you win the race ... There is some points for time also but this is really the key element and one of the most important changes."
