[It's entirely unrealistic simply to say 'they're cars, let them be raced', as there are many more variables than that, and F1 is as much about strategy as anything else, no matter what the people who only watch it to see fast racing try to claim. To say it's only about racing is to miss the point completely.
Of course, it's about racing. Racing car teams and their drivers racing against each other.
Team strategy is an element of F1. . No more, no less.
When both drivers have a mathematical shot at the tittle, they should be allowed to race each other, regardless whether it is the first, second or final race of the season.
Championships can be won in the first part of the season if a driver builds up enough of a cushion in the points over the rest. Jenson Button in his season with Brawn spriongs to mind - he certainly wasn't tthe quickest out there in the second half of the season but his lightning start to the season basically won him the title.
If a driver is quick, the team shouldn;t prevent him from attempting to build up a champuionship winning lead in the early part of the season.
