Remember Indy some years ago. Six cars ran, six cars finished. The win meant nothing and the points should have reflected that. To be truly contentious, how about 1 point per finishing

Anyone with a brain can tell that the best points system would be: Top 10 Top 10 would be (16,12,09) . ( 7, 6,5,4,3,2,1) . Sadly nobody at the FIA has a brain. Disgracefully bad points system..

Anyone with a brain can tell that the best points system
would be:

Top 10

Top 10 would be (16,12,09) . ( 7, 6,5,4,3,2,1)

.

Sadly nobody at the FIA has a brain.

This way the points awarded to each driver would be commensurate with his final position and races should be less "spread out", more competitive.

I agree 7th place should get only 4 points and not 5 points. Here is my idea for the points: 1st-20 2nd-15 3rd-10 4th-8 5th-6 6yh-5 7th-4 8th-3 9th-2 10th-1 This is a nice improvment for the points.

If a driver managed to do one point more, even though he win one race less, it means he was more consistent throughout the season and deserves the championship. That’s not true.
