I wholeheartedly agree Mark that means you can go and win the first two races and if you work the system to your advantage DNF for the rest of the season by taking out the key opposition hey presto world champion

Hot from Planet F1 News
The FIA have averted a potential row with the Formula One Teams' Association by agreeing to defer their controversial new 'winner-takes-all' system until 2010."
Just two hours after FOTA voiced an official protest to the plan, whereby the driver with most race wins becomes F1 champion, motor sport's world governing body reacted swiftly.
A FIA statement read: "On March 17, the FIA World Motor Sport Council unanimously rejected FOTA's proposed amendment to the points system for the Formula One Drivers' Championship.
"The 'winner-takes-all' proposal made by the commercial rights holder (Bernie Ecclestone, who had been told the teams were in favour) was then approved.
"If, for any reason, the Formula One teams do not now agree with the new system, its implementation will be deferred until 2010."

LOL, perhaps they've now realised that they need to consult with the teams before they make these sort of ground breaking decisions. Arrogant idiots.
Arrogant idiots.

It's a good, it means that the balance of power is now tipping in the teams' (FOTA) and fans favour. It's about time.
