Agreed that the "double points" system for the last race is ludicrous. Hamilton and Rosberg are not the only ones with final standings on the line.

The "11 race" rule was even more ludicrous. Everyone likes a winner, but a smart, quick, consistent driver should not be overshadowed by a "win or nothing" banzai artist.

When Nico's father Keke won the Championship, he only won one GP, but there were 11 different winners that season. Consistent results won it for him. It was not a runaway season for Williams; it was true competition among several teams and drivers.

The 2014 Championship is not a competition among 9-11 teams and 18-22 drivers. It's solely between two men. All results count. The spread is 17 points. Regardless what historical point system is employed (except the ridiculous 11 race version), it's a fight to the finish.

Odds are that Hammy will take it, but don't discount Nico's talent and results.
