Z, im going to have to say championships are decided on consistency more than anything else. Yes, its one thing to win every fkg race in the season, but if a driver can finish a season by being in the top 3 consistently, hes arguably championship material. The point system rewards consistency which isnt a bad thing. Of course if the season was shorter by half the number of races, then the older system makes more sense. So in a sense its a contradiction, because going by this new point system, all schumi has to do probably is finish each race, and hes potentially a champion (considering everytime ferrari finish a race, more often than not theyre in the top 4). So id still say the new point system is the least of the FIA's worries as of now.
