Arneal should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Expanding the number of positions scoring points adds resolution which provides more insight into how the lower teams are actually performing on the track.

Imagine Team A finishes 7th & 8th in every race while Team B finishes 21st & 22nd. The current system does not distinguish between the teams. IOW, they both end the season with the same number of points. This is bad.

By scoring points down to the 8th, 10th, 15th, or even 22nd place finisher you provide a much clearer picture of how teams are performing on the track.
