I can see where he's going to an extent, in theory you could win the drivers championship having never actually won a race, and the emphasis should be on winning.
I think the margin of points between 1st and 2nd and 3rd should increase to reward the winner, or introduce points for pole and fastest lap at least.

I agree with you on putting more emphasis on winning. I read in another thread where someone suggested it being 12 for 1st instead of 10. But a medal system seems like it cause more confusion than better racing.
