I, too, don't see what the issue is.

I thought about this... but the opposite way: I'd compare goals etc. to fastest laps, laps lead or other stats like those. In team sports there are no individual championships really (awards for "best player of the season" etc. are not really the same thing and usually not purely based on stats anyway).

Real issue is that drivers' championships are useless and nobody cares about them. Things like this just detriments them more.

Which, of course, is why people even bother debating them.

In fact I imagine Guy Cosmo would probably rather not have the points, and if he had a choice probably wouldn't want the title either.
