It's such a stupid and short-sighted idea that I find it hard to conceive that even the FIA or Bernie would come up with it.
Okay, so on one hand, the two or so drivers at the very front will fight perhaps that bit harder for the win, but that's the only advantage in an ocean of potential disadvantages.
What about the rest of the pack, "scrapping" for constructors points alone, no motivation for the driver himself.....no team-mate rivalry whatsoever unless those two cars are in 1st and 2nd place......the season can be over with half the races still remaining.......drivers are not going to be happy to make the podium, that milestone for a new driver is devalued hugely.
I just don't get it. They move from 10,6,4,3,2,1 to 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1.........and then, rather than admit that perhaps that wasn't the best thing to do, they go completely mad. Motorcycle racing is the best in terms of action, and they generally give points all the way down to 15th. As long as the difference between 1st and 2nd is big enough, there will be drivers fighting for it.
So we get perhaps one race per year at best where the action is improved (when the 2 lead drivers are actually close to one another in the closing stages and ordinarily the chasing driver would decide to microwave himself a cornish pastie and settle for second).......and all the rest of time we don't even give a crap about the podium finishers or any lower order scraps.
