The Red BARon should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

If a driver finishes 7th, he might as well be 22 in the points chase. The driver will be listed as 7th but without points its a shallow reward. I think the races will be even more interesting too. Now we just look foreward to the top six. They are the only ones that count. If we were scoring top ten finishing teams, those like BAR would acutally be doing better than some teams that have had two top ten finishes by luck. Scoring points because everyone else failed is good but not as good as scoring on pace.
No no NO!!! Never ceases to amaze me people still peddle out this tired old argument. Why don't you just award points to all 22 cars and drivers so they all have a nice fluffy bunny ride through F1 and the points system can then be completely devalued.

The title thread had a much better idea reducing the no. of points for a win.
