I have to say that this caught me by surprise… And my immediate response is why in the F%%KING HELL?

FIA confirms new point scoring system in 2010
And I guess my biggest beef is the Historical impact, as how can one be impressed by the number of Championship Points one racks up in their respective Grand Prix career? As a win is now worth 2 ½ times as much as its been in the past, as I seem to recall there was much fanfare over the TERMINATOR, nee M. Schumacher’s eclipsing of 1,000 career points… Not to mention how it’ll be a boon for Drivers salaries, eh? As a long standing tradition has been to pay bonuses for each point scored by said Piloto during the season…
Oh Whale, I guess at least it’s BETTER then Uncle Bernaughty’s Gold Medal idea, eh?
