I don't understand this. Driver 1 practised a lot, watched some videos from real life, gave efforts to dig in the car's setup, won 5 races comfortably, thus being the fastest, probably the most consistent and really careful on track. Driver 2 was constantly slower (at the very least), lost all head-to-head battles to Driver 1. Then Driver 1 had to miss a race due to some sudden circumstances. How does it suddenly make Driver 2 deserve the championship win more than Driver 1? Since when attendance started define more in racing, than speed, consistency and crash proneness?   Driver 2 comes to that race without his main rival. Ok, he is good boy (really). Grab the victory (easier without Driver 1), enjoy the driving and your rating points gain. Why should he be awarded the championship win for that one race? How giving a title to Driver 2 can be fairer than to a faster and more consistent Driver 1 over the distance of the championship?

Because someone else afterwards is gonna come forward and say, well let's make it 4 to count for a championship, thus making 2 races subsidiaries. If a championship on SRS is 6 races, all six should count equally. Personally i would rather have only 5 races, but i accept it's 6 races. It happened to me a couple of times as well, for example getting 4x 102 in GT1 and i missed the first race, was impossible to comeback from it in the standing, plus i get a blue screen just before the start of the race on VIR, but it's not the problem of others who participated to the 6 races. I enjoyed to the end nevertheless and as Marek says, it's not detrimental to anything to just participate, you still get rating normally for it.

In 2016, Rosberg had less wins than Hamilton, yet he won the championship, would it have been fair to give it to Hamilton because of that? Even if you were ruling out 2 races, Hamilton would have take it instead of Rosberg.

Imo it would remove also the most interesting aspect of single event championship, where standing can be very tight even if you have great results on every 5 races you have to play a bit strategic on let's say the last race, a couple have been like that in the past. If you start removing the worst races for everybody, that element vanishes. Winning in motorsports is not always about being the fastest, it's often a lot about being the most consistent over a race or a championship.
