There goes my Saturday morning entertainment..
But seriously, I never liked the idea of penalizing success. With such incentives, I can even imagine some drivers engaging in crazy sandbagging antics at one GP in order to have a better shot at the next (sort of, throwing away a points finish for the sake of having a shot at podium finish the next GP).
The fact that the qualification section decides so much of the race outcome simply means that qualification is just as important as the race. It's effectively part of the race. People should watch it.
