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 



But this is something SRS cannot check. You say you miss a race because of unforseen circumstances, but who's to say it actually was because a track was scheduled which you feel very uncomfortable driving at? 

As I said before, you have to be in it to win it. A championship is won by the best results over a number of races. Not by the driver with the highest average. How crazy would it be, if Hamilton would lay claim to the 2016 world championship, because he had to retire more races than Rosberg because of mechanical failures? 

You are very fast, and it would've been very likely for you to win more championships than you have now if your suggested rule was in effect. But what you're basically asking is a rule, that makes it easier for you to win championships, with lesser efforts from you. How would that make any sense?
