The reason the points for the win were increased from 9 - 10 was to reward the winner. I've always liked the fact that F1 only pays points to the top six.
It's a far cry from what they have in the NASCAR series where everybody gets points, and second place gets the same points as first if he leads more laps. The problem with the NASCAR system of giving everyone points is that damaged cars that should retire remain in the race.
There is nothing worse (or unsafe) than a beat-up hunk of rubbish of a race car sputtering around the apron of the track at half the speed of the field trying to collect 36th place points.
Leave F1 points alone.
