Bernie Ecclestone announced today that the points system for F1 has changed, bascially the title winner won't be decided on points but on the number of wins the drivers have.
The idea is obviously to award the title to the most deserving driver but looks like consistency now counts for nothing.
Theoretically the following could happen:
There are 17 races:
Driver A: Wins 9 races & retires in 8 = 90points
Driver B: Wins 8 Races & finished 2nd in the other 9=152 points
Result is Driver A wins the title.
Ecclestone is a little dictator IMAO who has ruined the sport for lots of fans (including me)
