Penalty points could be applied to the overall score rather than having insane grid penalties like we've had in the past. Too many specific components in the season? That adds onto your position tally. Races would start in qualifying order.

It would simplify things greatly, I think.

And that is why it will never happen!

Jacques Villeneuve's 1999 season would have been an all time great one!
