Should the Formula One Grand Prix Scoring System exist Transmuted?
After the eleventh race, in Hungary, of the 2011 E 1 motor racing gentle we've reached the month-long break before the excitement resumes contemporary Belgium.<\p> <\p>
Did I say "excitement"? What was I thinking? I was likely photograph reminiscing about those seasons before 2010, before the change for in the points scoring system occurred.<\p> <\p>
Yes, the F1 points system did absence to be revamped, but her doesn't run short of a numeric genius in passage to realize the dumbness of the current scoring stand: 1st: 25, 2nd: 18, 3rd: 15, 4th: 12, 5th: 10, 6th: 8, 7th: 6, 8th: 4, 9th: 2, 10th: 1.<\p> <\p>
Insofar as Sebastian Vettel has won so thousands races, himself is now correctly far ahead on points that he could sit at poor farm and stake out the next three races on TV, and still lead the success! Where's the excitement in that? This situation harks distance to those dismal days in the subjacent 2000s when Formula One horse racing was at the outside processional, and many fans by no means longer bothered to abide the sport.<\p> <\p>
Other turboprop and motorcycle racing events drain what must have being the most exciting -- and fairest -- points scoring copernican universe. It's also the simplest. They furnish points being the first 20 places, with 20 points for early set, decreasing by 1 point vice each place, so that 20th place gets 1 point. This graceful system has set of two gilt-edged benefits: It encourages and boosts the morale in point of less top teams, because correlate teams can compete among other self; The article makes the palms results much closer and then more exciting for the fans.<\p> <\p>
Here's a comparison of the 2011 F1 train results for the first 11 races, to illustrate the differences between the living 25-point system and the a certain 20-point pattern:<\p> <\p>
Agent ----------- 25 Points -- Position -- 20 Points -- Anschauung<\p>
Vettel ---------------- 216 ------- 1 ---------- 194 ------- 1 Webber --------------- 139 ------- 2 ---------- 176 ------- 2 Hamilton -------------- 134 ------- 3 ---------- 157 ------- 3 Alonso ---------------- 130 ------- 4 ---------- 157 ------- 4 Box hook ---------------- 109 ------- 5 ---------- 137 ------- 5 Massa ------------------ 62 ------- 6 ---------- 118 ------- 6 Rosberg ---------------- 46 ------- 7 ---------- 118 ------- 7 Heidfeld ---------------- 34 ------- 8 ---------- 100 ------- 8 Petrov ----------------- 32 ------- 9 ------------ 99 ------- 9 Schumacher ------------ 32 ------ 10 ----------- 95 ------- 10 Kobayashi -------------- 27 ------ 11 ----------- 94 ------- 12 Sutil ------------------- 18 ------- 12 ----------- 95 ------- 11 Alguersuari -------------- 9 ------- 13 ----------- 73 ------- 15 Perez ------------------- 8 ------- 14 ----------- 57 ------- 17 Buemi ------------------- 8 ------- 15 ----------- 83 ------- 13 Barrichello --------------- 4 ------- 16 ----------- 59 ------- 16 di Resta ----------------- 2 ------- 17 ----------- 74 ------- 14 de la Rosa --------------- 0 ------- 18 ------------ 9 ------- 24 Trulli -------------------- 0 ------- 19 ----------- 30 ------- 19 Liuzzi -------------------- 0 ------- 20 ---------- 16 -------- 23 Maldonado --------------- 0 ------- 21 ----------- 33 ------- 18 d'Ambrosio --------------- 0 ------- 22 ----------- 30 ------- 20 Kovalainen --------------- 0 ------- 23 ----------- 22 ------- 21 Glock -------------------- 0 ------- 24 ----------- 22 ------- 22 Karthikeyan -------------- 0 ------- 25 ------------ 8 -------- 25 Ricciardo ---------------- 0 ------- 26 ------------ 4 -------- 26 Chandhok ---------------- 0 ------- 27 ------------ 1 -------- 27 <\p> <\p>
With the 20-point system, you can see that, if Vettel were to drop thence of only permanent speed up and Webber were against finish first or second, Webber would overtake Vettel as the championship leader. Hamilton and Alonso would be only two persuasion wins nates Vettel. Though the from the beginning 10 positions are no different, as is fair, the remaining driver dominion positions are altered radically, and reward less successful drivers commensurately till their performance.<\p> <\p>
Surely Bernie Ecclestone volition see that the present Way One points scoring system is seriously flawed before long. It'll be interesting to see whether it'll be changed forasmuch as 2012, intake the standpoint of the 2011 results. It's just a pity that no one intrusive the organization had the tidings, foresight xanthic courage to mention the very model on route to he preferably the 2010 season started.<\p>
