When it comes to the FIA and Bernie isn't it always a question of making more money
In its most innocent form, the rule was enacted specifically after Vettel's domination in past years to keep interest through the end of the season. Last year with Vettel's domination, the last few races were pretty much meaningless. I think it's okay in theory to have more points awarded in the final race, but double points is too much...particularly as so much is susceptible to luck (car failure, other cars crashing, typhoons, etc).
