The true World Champion

Sir,

After looking at the results of the Argentine Grand Prix I wondered whether we would have a season similar to last, Lauda second again, with winners not being rewarded enough.

One possible remedy of this, I feel, is to count first places of drivers, the one with the most wins being World Champion. If the number of wins are equal, and only then, the number of times someone comes second shall be taken into consideration.

P.S. Can’t somebody do something about that chicane on Woodcote? We need it less than ever now that Ronnie Peterson’s back with Lotus.
