2) You are allowed to change tyres during red flag but it does not count as your 1 mandatory tyre change. So you still need to do another pit stop if you have not done it before the red flag

Still not perfect but might make it less random

I like 2, as it effectively stops the red flag from being turned into a free mandatory tyre stop.
