I've heard some daft ideas, but that really takes the biscuit. So many problems, but most significantly is whether it is actually fair to all that one race is worth so much more than others? Do teams save an engine / gearbox combo for the last race in the hope of achieving greater reliability? Is the track to be used one that equally favours all car designs? I've seen plenty of talk in the past that certain chassis perhaps do better on some circuits than others so it evens out over the season. What about the lottery of accident / safety car / weather? What they are trying to do is artificially create interest in a last race when the reality is it was all over and only the middle ranks had stuff to play for. But that happens in many sports. Presumably the football league will now follow suit?

Realistically this is about one driver waltzing off with the title early because the other teams weren't as competitive over the season. If what they really want to do is create a handicap, why not simply add weight to the cars that score points in previous races to slow them down?
