The points rule was to stop Schummi. look at last season for example, Kimmi had a chance to be champion even if he won only one race, while Schumacher won, what, 7 or 8? The winner isnt rewarded enough, it's possible to be champion without a single win.

Z, im going to have to say championships are decided on consistency more than anything else. Yes, its one thing to win every fkg race in the season, but if a driver can finish a season by being in the top 3 consistently, hes arguably championship material. The point system rewards consistency which isnt a bad thing. Of course if the season was shorter by half the number of races, then the older system makes more sense. So in a sense its a contradiction, because going by this new point system, all schumi has to do probably is finish each race, and hes potentially a champion (considering everytime ferrari finish a race, more often than not theyre in the top 4). So id still say the new point system is the least of the FIA's worries as of now.

Yeah, but I think it's a bit unfair. imagine for example if Schumacher won 13 races, and had technical problems and didnt finish in the last 4, while another driver finished 2nd in all the races without winning one. The guy that didnt win one single race could be Champion infront of the driver that won 13 out of 17 races. Would he be worthy of the title? Consistency is one thing, but you have to award the guy that wins.

It would be best it the point scoring system went like this:

12
8
6
5
4
3
2
1

I've only heard about him being linked to Williams.

NOTHING would be cooler than Villeneuve making a return.

 

[Zlatan]

He's also been linked to BAR and Sauber.

BAR... Can't see how that would work out, he and Richards were never close, to put it like that.

Sauber... Not good enough for Ville.

Just like football rumors, isn't it?

in the newspaper, a couple days ago. tho i'm not actually sure bout the team. i THINK it was renault.....forgive me, i suffer from short term memory loss

 

[Jocpocmoc]

I hope that Jacques can make a return with BAR.
Sauber? It's not to good, but if he doesn't go to BAR, I'd like to see him in Sauber rather NASCAR...

 

[baggio]

I heard he was linked to Williams. But that wont be such a shocking move after all would it? With Montoya and Ralf quitting. But the way things are, id love to see Jacques at Renault.

 

[Zlatan]

It's impossible for JV to join Williams, they already have Webber and Button for next year.

 

[kaizer]

it must be Renault then. damn, i wanted to check in the paper, but forgot

But the way things are, id love to see Jacques at Renault

yeap, Renault is doing good :thumb:

 

[baggio]

Yep Z ur right. Although, this news had surfaced long before Ralf quit Williams.
