Motor Sport: Formula One ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone wants to change the sport's points system. The current format of 10 for a win, eight for second and six for third, down to one point for eighth, was introduced for the 2003 season.
Michael Schumacher's dominance the previous year, where the gap between a first-placed finish and a second was four points and only the top six scored, led to heated calls to close the advantage the winner gets.
"With second place getting eight points it is not right that the winner takes only 10," the said the 76-year-old Ecclestone. "For 2008 I will propose a change."
The previous revision has brought about championships where consistency is now almost more important than race wins.
Fernando Alonso played the percentages en-route to his first title for Renault in 2005, a tactic that defeated the erratic speed of Kimi Raikkonen's McLaren.
He repeated the trick in 2006, securing enough wins earlier in the year to see off a late-season charge from Schumacher and Ferrari with a series of steady drives.
But Ecclestone wants to force drivers to push for the win, rather than settle for the comfort of second place.
"The guy who wins more should be champion," he added.
