In addition, I worry about someone mid pack trying to push too hard to get that point and then crashing, taking several other contenders out of the race.
I just don't really see the 'point of the point'.

I understand that it is only available to the top 10 finishers so the top of the mid-field will definitely be in. I like it because it is a feature from the original championship and it means some of the mid-pack teams may get more money from column 1 and column 2 payments from Formula One Management. I'm all for that.
