I kind of understand where you're coming from, however under current regulations surrounding the sport 'monobrow' is the rightful World Champion. However, I do agree that the current points system is a sham - it should be race to win - coming second and getting eight points is overkill. :(

I think it should be 7 points for 2nd, but keep points for 7th and 8th as it is increasingly difficult to score points when you get the top 6 locked out by McLaren, Ferrari and BMW.

I kinda like that idea.

There used to be a 3 point gap between 1st and second in the pre-1991 scoring system when first got 9 points instead of 10. Don't want the winner to get more than 10 points because 10's a nice round number. :)


I think the winner should get exactly 11.357 points because 11.357's a nice non-round number :P


I dont agree - the winner should get 3.14159265358979323846

for as we all know, everyone loves a nice bit o pie!

It should read as "or block an overtaking when he is on his fast lap" (as LH with KR). The rule is about in circuit actions.

I was actually contemplating that number as well, but it makes it a tad more difficult to squeeze in another 7 drivers or so. However, I'm with ya here :D

so what you meant to say earlier was "No one has shown me the rule yet, and even if they do, I will pretend they mean something else!" I am not sure you get how silly you are making yourself look with this.

1st gets 3.14159265358979323846
2nd gets 0.14159265358979323846
3rd gets 0.04159265358979323846

21st gets 0.00000000000000000006

Everyone's a winner, except the first to become a DNF. What could be fairer? 8)

yeah lets have this points system then someone could clauim to be the youngest driver ever to win a point in F1 the way Vettel did - but forgot to mention the fact that the guy who previously held the record won his points when points were awarded from positions 1 through 6!
