Welcome to the forum, djb, I think you make the point excellantly. It is a conundrum, but I honestly believe that the Driver's Championship should take precedent over the Manufacturer's cup. Innovation should occur within the constraints of a narrowly defined set of rules that promote competition between the drivers. Personally, I feel the the performance stratification of the grid that pairs each teams' drivers like the animals boarding the Ark counter-productive to the notion of the WDC.
Group 7, the old Can-Am and Interserie was the forum for unlimited technical innovation, and the annual whithering dominance of a single make, Lola, McLaren, Porsche and Shadow in succession, killed it.
F1 must strike a balance between technological innovation and rules stability.
