Should the winner take it all?

A new points scoring system has been introduced into Formula One motor racing, where the driver with the most wins at the end of the season will triumph in the F1 World Championship. What is the purpose of this? Will it make the points scoring system fairer? Will it ensure that the World Championship is more open and competitive? Will smaller teams stand a greater chance of winning the F1 title? Or does the new system create more problems than it solves? Will it promote one-shot racing where teams only aim to win a proportion of races to ensure a championship winning position (and consequently they do not focus on that proportion of races where they are less likely to be successful)? If one driver wins a majority of races by the mid-season mark, is the championship effectively over? Are consistent drivers i.e. those who regularly finish second and third going to be adversely penalised? Will the new system de-motivate them? Is the new system sufficient in itself to promote and enhance the uncertainty of outcome in a sport where often only a small number of teams are actually in the position of being able to win races?
