Right, so who will be the first to apply that to the past few seasons and see how that would have worked?

The only way of judging this is to apply it to the results of the last few (say 10) years and I really haven't got the time or patience during the working week . . .
Considering that 2 of the last 3 seasons have gone to the final race, both of which ended with a 1 point different, I dont think there is any issue with the current system
The problem F1 has is its difficult to overtake. Rather than properly sort the situation by making the cars much easier to follow, the FIA are trying to gloss over it by making it more rewarding for a river to overtake. It wont improve the show, it will just mean championships get decided a lot earlier.
Without even bothering to work it out im sure that Jenson would have had the title wrapped by in the summer under this points mechanism.

The extra places are to take account that there are now 13 teams and 26 cars squeezing their way round the tracks

Just spotted the odd 10-8-6-5-3-2-1 bit, where the gap is 2-2-1-2-1-1.
10-8-6-4-3-2-1 would make more sense.

20 18 Kamui Kobayashi 23 3
21 20 Kazuki Nakajima 5 0
22 22 Vitantonio Liuzzi 0 0
23 23 Romain Grosjean 0 0
24 24 Jaime Alguersuari 0 0
25 25 Luca Badoer 0 0If anyone wants to do any other years:
Code:
=IF(C1=1,25,(IF(C1=2,20,(IF(C1=3,15,(IF(C1=4,10,(IF(C1=5,8,(IF(C1=6,6,(IF(C1=7,5,(IF(C1=8,3,(IF(C1=9,2,(IF(C1=10,1,0)))))))))))))))))))I know but getting the points should be a challenge. It used to go back to 6th and we had this many cars. No need to go back to 10 really.
Looks like the tread title needs to be changed to "There WILL be a new points system in F1 in 2010"

Its been approved by one board, just needs ratification by another that is headed by people who were on the first.

Never understood why they didn't bring this in years ago.

Doesn't look too bad. I'd have like the MotoGP points down to 15th setup, personally, but I'm not seeing much objectionable about this one.

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Points 25 20 16 13 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
MotoGp/BSB/WSBK and most, if not all Motocycle racing, use this system and it seems to work really well. main difference is the increased grids with upto 40 riders.
