In which case what is the point? Just to see the fast cars overtake the slow ones over and over? We see that pretty often, the slow cars get out of the way because they know it's not their fight, there is no reason to believe they wouldn't do the same. All you're going to do in the current hierarchy is split up the midfield cars that actually do race currently as they get mixed up by the frontrunners passing through.
I know It's not the same but I have done plenty of sim.championships with a reverse championship order(that kicked in after the first race) and even If I have been one of the faster cars, from a driver standpoint I find it much better then a conventional qualifying as it tests more aspects of your driving skill then just speed to put your self in a clear spot.
It's a gimmick because it's being talked about solely to improve "the show", it's not about improving the sporting aspect. Restarting after goals are scored in other sports is hardly compatible in the slightest, come on. F1 isn't a back and forth possession sport.
What F1 needs is what it always needs to be exciting, closely matched cars racing each other on equal footing, with the occasional topsy turvy, crazy race mixed in every now and again.
As F1 fans we just understand that it isn't going to happen all the time, but F1 shouldn't ever be about penalising those who excel.
