This year, the title was finally won by Vettel at a poorly attended race in New Delhi, though it was effectively decided several races earlier.
While the German celebrated with do-nuts, Ecclestone pondered the damage that winning the championship title so relatively early in the season would wreak in terms of falling TV audiences for the three remaining races.
But it seems Bernie has a cunning plan, who has suggested to one of the leading economic newspapers in Spain, that he envisages a new points system based on that of the ATP World Tour.
Under the scheme, some events are ranked as more important than others and therefore more points are awarded. While the current 25 points for the winner would be retained for most races, some events could be worth as much as 50 points for the winner and the season decider as many as 100.
The last race of the season could be worth 100 points, which would introduce an element of uncertainty, said Ecclestone. While the 'traditional events' would continue to be based on the current system, a win worth 25 points, "the races that would "be worth 50 would be the historically important grands prix - like Monaco and England - while the Brazil race would have a value of 100 points.
It is also suggested that the powers that be could change the circuits' rankings, in other words, suddenly there are 50 points for winning Abu Dhabi rather than 50.
I thought Bernie looked rather doddery in his attempt to negotiate revolving doors the other day, and ended up where he entered
