There's a much more simple solution.

F1 is no longer about sport, it's about veiwing figures and 'entertainment'.

F1 is subject to the same pressures and problems as any reality TV programme and it resorts to the same solutions. The entire series is choreographed within broad editorial remit to produce something that will keep the punter (pig-ignorant punter in many cases) coming back next week.

So, when Brawn began to run away with the series in Race 1, it was clear that something had to be done to keep interest alive later in the season.

The question is, is it better to have a fairy tale in which innovative upstart with no money takes on the big boys, but has to struggle to win as scraped together research funding gets that vital last point in the last race of the season or is it better to let handsome, popular, young and ethnically different driver retain his world championship from way back in the grid, or is it time for a non-name (Red Bull?) to emerge onto the stage.

And one has circumstance to play with as well. How about courageous, injured driver fights back to win championship against all the odds for Ferrari?

But don't imagine that the state of play in a mid year race has any bearing on the final outcome....remember last year, last race, last corner and last minute overtake / failure to maintain speed that had audiences on their seat edge.

Or is that too cynical for you?
