It's retarded. It's stupid. It's illogical. And more importantly, it affects the driver selection process heavily. Which in turn makes it very, very predictable podiums (same six guys, with only 2 or 3 with a shot at the title...every yea). Even the top teams have been reduced to side-stepping the best talent available in order to secure some extra money to run the wind tunnel or whatever..
Apparently you missed seeing Daniel Riccairdo and Kevin Magnussen on the podium today (or was that yesterday) along with Nico Rosberg. The new rules have really shaken things up for now.

Too bad Riccairdo was later DQ'd due to a fuel flow meter issue. This pushed Button up on the podium wheer he has not been in a long long time. However, it looked like Valtteri Bottas would have been in P2 or P3 if he had not touched the wall and had to come in for a wheel/tire.
