Right now it very much so is designed so that teams that are ahead can stay ahead, if they don't have unforeseen factors like losing sponsors or build space, etc.
There is particularly excellent short story that I would greatly recommend called 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. (For just the summary, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron)
