and any teams who turned up at the 1st race and got creamed would have no incentive to even bother for the rest of the year.
disastrous plan, sorry"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

What others have said - the development race through the season is half the fun.
I can see this rule coming in though in the near future - from the same prats that brought us frozen engines and control tyres after all.
The obsession with cost-cutting will be the death of this sport (as a sport), it's most of the way there already.

Well they stopped engine development, which was stupid too.

At first glance I must admit that I didn't like the idea. But if you build upon it - by say - mandating that the drivers have to drive for a different team every race - the idea starts to show some merit. Add to that, by replacing points with medals (who could ever understand those numbers anyway) and throw in some random rain and snow storms and you've got a definate winner!
I'm pretty sure that that would get us back pretty close to the original ideal of Formula 1 racing.
