With the new rule change what will happen at Ferrari with two "roughly" equal drivers? They will hardly let LH win the season and both their drivers have 4 wins each or whatever. Will it be a case of the first to three wins gets the No 1 seat for the rest of the season and the other has to be the servant?

The first to get a win would make most sense. Why wait until 3 and lose 2 other opportunities, 5-6 wins will probably secure the championship.

Massa will start the season with the lower number on his car due to the final standings from last year.

The racing will be a complete free-for-all for a large chunk of the start of the season, and tactics will come into play later in the year.

I personally hate this stupid "most wins" rule. If a particular team has a strong start to the season, then the championship could easily be sewn up not long after half way through the season when there are still loads of points to play for, and the tables are relatively close ... Utter ste!
