What's the worst about altering the points system all the time?? It's the fact that
you can no longer definitively compare points scored yr-over-yr....allowing you to compare F1 history; I recall 1991-2002 when the top six were awarded points (10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1).
Check out the history of F1 point scoring:
