Emn.. no?
Sprint races have own points.
Main race on Sunday has 25-18 etc system + top10 driver with fastest lap gets +1p

The new points system achieves its goal: it makes Sundays more interesting. I think today could be quite boring cruising to watch without the new point system. But.. is the outcome as points fair, not sure. It's anyway a different game now and everyone knows the rules.

The real problem is the lack of competitors and no cosmetic fix changes that.

I wish I had written that.

nice meet the crews on rally tv now

this complaining here doesnt give anything, like FIA said they are monitorin it during the season and if needed they will change, so write to them if its anyway possible.

it was known before the season started that this may happen that the winner gets less points than others and i would say this weeks rally was crazy and different in that sense.

If it would have been Neuville, Evans or Tänak leading they wouldnt have cruised today as Lappi did.

Im not supporting the new system but im definitely supporting the Super Sunday, like i said i personally would have kept the old system and just added the Super Sunday.

this guy has the best opinions so far from this forum

the main issue is that too much points are awarded for a way too short distance on sunday.

Sprint and main races are two separate races.

You win sprint race and put 8p in pocket. They are not put ,,on hold'" like wrc saturday evening leader 18points.

GP/main race winner gets most points.


But okay, wrong thread for that.

I don’t really care about F1’s points system. It’s not the same sport.

So, in the end Lappi 19pts for 1st. Evans 24pts for 2nd. This is some weird evolution of rallying to gain viewers, but it’s not going to work. If you don’t appreciate rallying for the cars and the speed they are driven at, you’re not going to be suddenly interested because of a points change.

This along with the failure to tell the story of the Sunday points and the battles it might be creating over the Sunday stages is really letting the possible value of the new system down.
