It sounds fair to me to increase the differential between first and second places, whilst leaving the lower places largely unchanged, to reflect today's improved reliability statistics.

If they implement that, it would be really really interesting, because sooner or later there would be another "1982" season.

I just in shock that Bernie and I agree on something!!!!! Scary????

I don't like the idea of points for fastest lap or pole. Neither of those achievements are that important to when it comes to deciding the outcome of a race.

Schumi scored 90-odd wins from 60-odd poles. When you take into account the number of times he didn't win from pole you see that pole position was not the deciding factor in the race result.

Senna was the opposite. He scored 41 wins and 65 poles. Factor in the times he didn't win from pole and it shows that pole position was not the deciding factor in the race.

I don't know if anybody has the stat but I would like to know how many races have been won from pole. I have a feeling that it's a pretty low number.

I would hate to think that a world championship was decided by what happened on a Saturday rather than a Sunday.

If Iam not mistaken, the current points system was prompted by the fact of unstopable Ferrari and Schumi collecting points, there were only two categories of the group in every race i.e Ferrari and non-Ferrari, their domination has left all the rest teams by far distance at the race and collecting points.

In this current F1 which the power of teams aren't different by far, i think the right time to modify the points system, the race winner should have higher points than current system, top-10 or top-12 finishers also deserve for the points.

go back to the old system............period

how about this

pole = 1 point
most laps leade = 1 point

then 12, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 points awarded for the top 10 places

this will give us some real racing from 6-10 and open the door for teams to be more aggresive in both qualifying and during the race.
Smaller teams might score some points
mistakes like spinoffs or poor pit stops get a chance for redemption
IMO it will make the whole race weekend more interesting. and give the fans of the lesser known drivers something to root for

I quite like the most positions gained point in Champ Car!

truefan72 sounds good but
too many point scoring positions
How's 15,10,7,5,4,3,2,1 points awarded for the top 8 places as now

I quite like the qualifying system,
Just needs tweaking, Teams must disclose what fuel level they will be running before the start of Qualifying ,so a low fuel level can be for all, so the out-right fastest gets pole.
A minimum lap count per session (Q1,Q2 and Q3)say 10 to 12 laps each per session.
