f1.com is the most purely contrived propaganda site since Pravda.
and you expect a forum for a dissenting voice?

He is sort of right. In many situations, drivers would not go that extra mile to win races. I remember during Alonso's championship season, he would rarely ever take a chance to win a race, he would instead back off and preserve his championship by taking the "maximum" points.

I dont agree with the way they're doing it but trying to encourage drivers to win races is not a bad idea. A 12-7-5-4-3-2-1 might have been a better alternative but whatever.

Or just turn back the clock and go back to 10-6-4-3-2-1? But then no points to 8th place...Back then, guys did go for the win because of the 4 point spread between first and second place.
