Can't help feel this will either be just a bit naff, or giving an additional advantage to an already strong car/driver combo.

Yep I agree this would just be giving extra points to the dominant driver. Hardly exciting stuff.

If we're going to experiment with ideas that detract from pure racing I'd like to see constructor points awarded to teams that can keep both their cars within a place of each other on the grid. Could make for some interesting team orders but I can also see how it could be incredibly dangerous.

Imagine a scenario where a driver is told to give up track position for the extra constructor points...oof
