Points system tweaks?

Domenicali says an adjustment to the new points system is already
in the cards "amid suggestions of a minor tweak to give a greater
percentage separation between the first and second place scores."

Assuming the powers that be are enamored with 25 points for first
place, might I suggest they change the ordering to 25-19-14-10-7-
5-4-3-2-1 to provide a 6-5-4-3-2-1-1-1-1 arrangement of gaps?  It
seems so simple once written down that I’m amazed they didn’t get
it right the first time.

Cheers!

Sorry about the popups and ads, but there’s nothing nasty which will
appear on your PC.

Or email me and I’ll email it to you.

Who will be on the grid

Does anyone have any reliable information on progress art US F1 or
Campos Meta?

We have not seen the cars and there are still driving slots to fill.

US F1 were hoping to have the car rolling about now.
I am sure Campos Meta had similar plans

Will we see them on the grid?

IS Stefan GP a credible alternative or just smoke and mirrors.

Masa surprised about Heifeld

Planet F1 says the Masa is surprised and dismayed that Nick is taking
a test drive role.

For those of you with an iPhone, get F1 Insider.

Check listings for later runnings of 1979 and 1980, part of the series
too.

And Big Bad Bernie’s "Orwellian" treatment of F1 history means bits of
what you TODAY think will be featured ISN’T actually what’s in these
hour-long contemporary reports.

e.g. The 1979 French GP – Renault’s first turbo victory, because
that’s pretty much all that race was in 1979.

Like people booing Senna at Silverstone every year – when last did you
hear of that occurring?

So come and pull my teeth out and threaten me with rats etc NOW
