Another reason why it would be silly, is that say one driver wins the first 4 races but unfortunately gets injured before the 5th and is out for the rest of the races, and then no one wins as many races but gets lots more points, then that injured driver would win it depsite not completing the full circuit. It sounds silly to me

I think it's a ridiculous idea. The whole point of a SEASON is to see who is the most consistent. Although most unlikely, what if a driver finishes every race in 2nd place and all the Grand prix victories are spread over 10 or 12 other drivers. The driver who finishes 2nd every week will probably have far more points than the other drivers who maybe have 1 or 2 victories each and the more consistent driver wins nothing :? :?


I agree that drivers should be attempting to win the race rather than being happy with taking 2 points less and staying in 2nd etc. Surely this can be achieved by just making the reward for winning the race much greater than finishing 2nd.


Being a Rugby League fan you should now that the season means nothing ;), its how you play in the last couple of games that matters.

Ridiculous idea.


I don't really see how it means better races and more overtaking.

The current system works fine but maybe increasing the points as suggested would be OK.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

Funny how F1 works, isn't it.

Ferrari built themselves a car that was fast, but not as reliable as usual in 2008. As a result one of their drivers lost out on the title despite winning more races than anyone else that season.

Now, all of a sudden and as if by magic, Bernie the Pixie decides he wants to change the rules to reward teams who are quick but not necessarily reliable (like Ferrari).

Surely he can't be that desperate for some liquidity to settle his divorce that he's resorted to receiving brown envelopes from the Maranello boys?

If this system comes in within two years you'll have an F1 starting grid with about 10 cars on it. What's the point of the likes of Honda, Force India and Williams staying in the sport if only the top 3 (mainly McLaren, Ferrari and the occasional interloper from Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Renault or BMW) get any reward for where they finish in the race?
i fully agree :wink:
