The New F1 rule

The FIA introduced a new rule to decide the season winner by the number of wins rather than the points scored.
I do not support this new rule because: 1.It supports periodic performances over consistent performance. It puts driver with ,for eg, only 2 wins & no other podium, ahead of a driver with a win and 4 second finishes. This is not a correct evaluation. 2.As not every point counts in the new system, we may not see as thrilling season finishes as we saw it in last 2 season. Last year, the last meter of the race decided the champion. New system reduces entertainment value of a cash-needy sport. 3.Some say that new system will encourage drivers to push hard for victory. My opinion is not congruent to this notion. A driver at 5th position will not push hard as it brings the dangers of technical failures and driving errors.failures of engine and transmission may make them to lose in grid positions in the next race. I welcome FIA's decision of withdrawing the new rule of counting win, as its announcement was too close to the season's opening race.
