[Martin Smith]

Martin, as for me complication is building a neural network to compute square roots. Adding at most 20 lines of code and a sentence to rules page is not a complication.
Benefit is pretty clear - championships will be won by those who deserve them most more frequently, thus the whole system being fairer.

It all adds up over time. Eventually you end up with a 50-page rulebook and wondering why nothing much has improved.

Being fast shouldn't be enough to win championships.

Being fast is great for setting fast laps.

Being fast and consistent is great for winning races.

Being fast, consistent, and clean is great for your driver rating.

But if you want to win championships you need all that, plus attendance.
