Scoring only the number of wins is absolutely silly. The best driver could be eliminated by a problem in the pits, a minor scrape with another car that damages his aerodynamics or a simple mechanical problem. If Michael Schumacher was still driving or if someone like him was to come along, which I doubt, the championship could be decided just past the mid point of the season. Haven't we all seen a top driver start near the rear of the grid and charge through the field to obtain a few points to keep him in the hunt. Why not just drive the pretty cars around for an hour & a 1/2, let everybody take their pictures and go home?
