A pointless title fight thread
Hi all.
This thread is pretty meaningless and pointless, but I was bored the other day and decided to compare how this Championship would look under the 3 major F1 scoring systems over the last 20 odd years.
i.e the real standings now with 25,18,15,12,10,8,6,4,2,1
2003-2009/2010 (i forget which season) - 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Pre 2002 - 10,6,4,3,2,1
So here we are wins for 2014 have been spread as little between drivers as any season since I watched. Just 3 drivers winning so far.
Hamilton - 8 wins
Rosberg - 4 wins
Ricciardo - 3 wins
So this is the current standings
1 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 266 2 Nico Rosberg Mercedes 256 3 Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 193 4 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 139 5 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 133 6 Valterri Bottas Williams 130 7 Jenson Button Mclaren 82 8 Nico Hulkenberg Force India 76 9 Felipe Massa Williams 71 10 Sergio Perez Force India 46 11 Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari 45 12 Kevin Magnussen Mclaren 39 13 Jean Eric Vergne Toro Rosso 21 14 Romain Grosjean Lotus 8 15 Danii Kyvat Toro Rosso 8 16 Jules Bianchi Marussia 2 17 Adrian Sutil Sauber 0 18 Marcus Ericcson Caterham 0 19 Pastor Maldonado Lotus 0 20 Esteban Gutierrez Sauber 0 21 Max Chilton Marussia 0 22 Kamui Kobayashi Caterham 0 23 Andre Lotterer Caterham 0
1 Mercedes 522 2 Red Bull 332 3 Williams 201 4 Ferrari 178 5 Force India 122 6 Mclaren 121 7 Toro Rosso 29 8 Lotus 8 9 Marussia 2 10 Sauber 0 11 Caterham 0
Using the 2003-2009/10 points system
1 Nico Rosberg Mercedes 109 2 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 108 3 Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 77 4 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 56 5 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 53 6 Valterri Bottas Williams 51 7 Jenson Button Mclaren 31 8 Felipe Massa Williams 27 9 Nico Hulkenberg Force India 26 10 Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari 14 11 Sergio Perez Force India 14 12 Kevin Magnussen Mclaren 12 13 Jean Eric Vergne Toro Rosso 5 14 Romain Grosjean Lotus 2
*Interesting that Nico Rosberg who has been more consistant this season would be leading the championship still in the old format1 Mercedes 217 2 Red Bull 133 3 Williams 78 4 Ferrari 68 5 Mclaren 43 6 Force India 40 7 Toro Rosso 5 8 Lotus 2 9 Marussia 0 10 Sauber 0 11 Caterham 0
Now the classic system pre 2003
1 Lewis Hamilton Mercedes 100 2 Nico Rosberg Mercedes 91 3 Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull 58 4 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 32 5 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 29 6 Valterri Bottas Williams 28 7 Jenson Button Mclaren 15 8 Felipe Massa Williams 11 9 Nico Hulkenberg Force India 10 10 Kevin Magnussen Mclaren 6 11 Sergio Perez Force India 5 12 Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari 4 13 Jean Eric Vergne Toro Rosso 1
*Kimi with only 4 points in a Ferrari
1 Mercedes 191 2 Red Bull 90 3 Williams 39 4 Ferrari 33 5 Mclaren 21 6 Force India 15 7 Toro Rosso 1 8 Lotus 0 9 Marussia 0 10 Sauber 0 11 Caterham 0
So there we go.
Not sure what it shows, but as I said. Its just for interest.Last edited by steveaki13; 11th October 2014 at 23:03.

Even in the old system the points would be relatively close (100:91), despite Hamilton having 8 wins to Rosberg's four. So I don't think we can blame only the much-criticized point-system, which keeps Nico in the game. Hamilton would be massively ahead only by the so-called medal system.
Only 13 drivers in top6 all season, just like in 2011. The all-time low-record. Though Kvyat has a chance of being the 14th one.

I think todays point system leaves a similar outcome to Pre 2002 system really with a big difference between first and second.
The amazing thing is how much it changes in the 2003 points system. It was said at the time. That 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 did not favour the winner enough.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

But we all know that the 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 system was brought in because Schumacher was winning the championship too early.
