Overtaking in F1 today is what it should be - possible, but very, very hard. But Jenson and Lewis proved that it is possible. However, I do think that it will be a mistake to make it too easy...

I agree

I certainly don't want it being made easy, but attempts to make it easier last year didn't really work and I think, rather than changing the points system, the FIA should be looking at the cars themselves first (and maybe the circuits) to reduce the influence of the aero to increase the possibilities of overtaking.

If they were to do that then the incentive of a greater spread of points, and increase in the value of a win, would have more of an effect in terms of the racing.

As it is, changing the points with the cars as they are won't really make much difference IMHO.
