So the winner gets more points...so? If those chasing him can't follow closely enough to be able to challenge then making a win worth more doesn't really change anything.

Before making changes like this the powers that be need to look at the cars, and circuits, first.

With all due respect, I disagree. Recently I watched a 1992 race, the German GP. It was a great race, but the overtaking was extremely difficult, even with a vastly superior car. James Hunt said that overtaking is too difficult. I think that this is normal and expected. There is nothing wrong with this. Exceptional races are like this - exceptional. 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, like in a 125cc race. Maybe that was the way in the 60s and 70s but that was a long, long time ago. For the last 10, maybe 15 or 20 years we had seasons with dominating cars, with difficult overtaking, with cars deciding who is the WDC. This is normal. It's part of the game. F1 is not and must not be like club racing or even touring car racing. The last seasons in the sport was tremendous. Kimi chasing Fred in 2005. Michael chasing Fred in 2006, the great battle between the old and the new king. 2007 - the arrival of Lewis, the battle with Alonso, the stunning championship of Kimi. 2008 - the thrilling duel between Lewis and Felipe. 2009 - the faerie tale story of Jenson, the rise of Vettel. It is unfair to ask for more IMO. It is unfair to want to turn this wonderful, dramatic sport into 125 cc or WTCC. The only thing which can be improved is the reward which the winner gets. That is. The rest IMO is stupid. Check soccer. Can you imagine, after Greece won the European championship with defensive game, to want to change the rules? It will be weird. Sometimes this happend. The next EC Spain won with magical play.
Same with F1. We will have seasons like 2004 and like 2008. It's part of the tradition of F1.
Sorry for the long, slightly OT topic.
