Ecclestone is now complaining that there are only two points 
separating a win and second place in the F1 Drivers Championship.

Guess Bernie forgot that the point totals were changed to there 
current structure when Shumi was running away with the Championship 
and wins so that reducing the points awarded to the winner was the 
FIA's way of trying to keep the rest of the field within striking 
distance of Michael.

However, I did like that the article pointed out that the driver with 
the most wins HAS won the Championship ever year since 1989 when 
Senna lost it to Prost.

Sure sounds like the point totals are causing an ongoing issue with 
determining the Championship.
