What should happen is compounds should be set by October 31st the previous year, and teams allowed to test them after the final GP of the year. They can then build cars to get the best out of the tyres. Part of F1 should be the ability to make the tyres available work. They all have the same tyres and some teams are better than others at doing that.

I agree with Nicko, watch other cats, IRL, Nascar, V8's and the same thing, with tyres, no matter what compound, it will never suit all teams, from car set up to driving style. Some drivers are hard on tyres, some position the car to preserve and extend the life of tyres.
Still makes for interesting racing, go hard and get shuffled back, or run at 95 % then come home strong, its a gamble but , like the V8's different winners at each round makes for better racing for all .
Or we could go back to Boring F1, he who is on pole, leads all the way. And have one trophy, the Drivers champ.
If you want the team trophy , then include tyre stops, etc, and see what team can set a car up, can service a car and get both home to score points for the team.
