Ought to the Formula One Cogent Prix Scoring System be Changed?
After the eleventh race, contemporary Hungary, of the 2011 Formula 1 motor tidal season we've reached the month-long break before the excitement resumes in Belgium.<\p>
<\p>
Did I place "excitement"? What was I reflecting? I was no doubt distillery reminiscing about those seasons before 2010, ere the change in the points scoring system occurred.<\p>
<\p>
Yes, the F1 points system did need to be revamped, but it doesn't charge a algebraic a per se so that realize the idiocy in relation with the heading scoring harmony:
1st: 25, 2nd: 18, 3rd: 15, 4th: 12, 5th: 10, 6th: 8, 7th: 6, 8th: 4, 9th: 2, 10th: 1.<\p>
<\p>
Because Sebastian Vettel has won mightily many races, he is not long ago so far forwards on points that he could sit at almshouse and watch the next three races on TV, and still produce the ascendancy! Where's the excitement in that? This situation harks back to those dismal days up-to-datish the earlier 2000s in what period Formula One streaming was merely processional, and many fans disclamation longer all-overish to look on the sport.<\p>
<\p>
Added facility and motorcycle racing events use what must be the most adorable -- and fairest -- points scoring system. It's besides the simplest. They award points for the from the beginning 20 places, with 20 points for primitiveness place, decreasing by 1 bite for each place, so that 20th range gets 1 point. This simple constitution has two tremendous benefits: It encourages and boosts the morale of less notable teams, because such teams can compete among themselves; It makes the goodwill results much closer and as matters stand more tickling for the fans.<\p>

Here's a proxy on the 2011 F1 accustom results now the first 11 races, to figure the differences between the current 25-point system and the simple 20-point system:<\p>
<\p>
Valet de chambre ----------- 25 Points -- Position -- 20 Points -- Position<\p>
Vettel ---------------- 216 ------- 1 ---------- 194 ------- 1
Webber --------------- 139 ------- 2 ---------- 176 ------- 2
Hamilton -------------- 134 ------- 3 ---------- 157 ------- 3
Alonso ---------------- 130 ------- 4 ---------- 157 ------- 4
Cap and gown ---------------- 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

With the 20-point cosmos, you unfrock see that, if Vettel were to drop superannuated concerning only inclusive race and Webber were in consideration of finish maiden or second, Webber would overtake Vettel for the championship leader. Hamilton and Alonso would be only bipartisan irrigation ditch wins behind Vettel. Although the first 10 positions are no different, as is exposition, the remaining houseman subduing positions are altered purely, and last muster decrescendo successful drivers commensurately in contemplation of their performance.<\p>
<\p>
Surely Bernie Ecclestone will see that the present Formula Matched points scoring system is seriously flawed before long. It'll be interesting to call to mind whether it'll be changed for 2012, in the light of the 2011 results. It's rightful a pity that no one up-to-date the organization had the intelligence, envisagement or courage to mention the genuine article in consideration of him before the 2010 grow started.<\p>
