Not so. The points system is no more "ridiculous" than in any other time in F1 history.
If the points system that was in place from 1961-1990 (9-6-4-3-2-1), Hamilton would lead Rosberg 116 to 108, with the Championship to be decided at the last race.
If the points system that was in place from 1991-2009 (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1), Hamilton would lead Rosberg 136 to 135, with the Championship to be decided at the last race.
How can someone with 10 wins lose the Championship? Same way that Jeff Gordon cannot win the Championship with the best record. Same way Keke Rosberg can win the Championship with only one win. Same way Joni Wiman can win the Championship with NO wins.
