We the loyal fans of F1 demand that the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) not change the points system for 2014, by awarding double points for the last race of the season. It is an artificial attempt to manipulate the results of the world's greatest sport. As fans of motorsport in general, and F1 in particular, we value the purity of human endeavor and achievement. While we will always have our favorite teams and drivers, we want everyone competing on merit, without artifice. We accept that a team or driver may dominate a season, or multiple seasons, and that this is part of Sport. We are fans not because of the spectacle, but because Formula One embodies the human spirit of endeavor and innovation, of hubris, and striving to be more than we are. We reject any machinations on the part of the FIA to dilute that Spirit with vulgar devices.
Double points is another knee jerk decision made by people who have lost sight of what true racing fans want from a world racing series. Suddenly Formula E is looking more like a viable option to the farce that F1 is fast becoming. I have followed it for over 20 years but I find myself looking at other series in which men in suits don't try to engineer champions.

I've spent thousands on going to watch races, gear, etc over the years.....if the points change, i will never watch F1 again. It is an ignorant & ineffectual attempt to fix something that isn't broken. Stop effing with the rules & allow teams to race.
