In case you are curious, here’s the 2013 season scored in the 9-6-4-3-2-1 system:
Red Bull: 190
Mercedes: 88
Ferrari: 87
Lotus: 84
McLaren: 12
ForceIndia: 6
Sauber: 7
ToroRosso: 1
Williams: 0
So comparing the old scoring and the current one, there is just one difference in teams ranking.
Red Bull won 40% of all points, which makes it the 14th most dominant season. For comparison, the killer Senna-Prost combo of 1988 gathered 50% of all points, while Ferrari managed 48% (2002) and 47% (2004). Williams’ best score is 41% in 1996. Red Bull beat this year’s haul in 2011 (44%).
The other seasons more dominant than 2013 were in the 1950’s and very early 60’s.

@ph Nice, What about Vettel?

@davidnotcoulthard – Vettel scored 117+6+8+6, so 137 points out of the 190 (150 if 10 points were awarded for a win like 1991-2002).

@david-a @ph So he still would’ve won the World constructurs Championship – by a bigger margin. That’s quite amazing, if not too surprising.

Having said that the 8-point finish can’t be right.

@davidnotcoulthard – 8 = 4 points twice, Australia & Hungary, the second 6 = 3 points twice, Spain & China

OK, I guess it can be right :) ..

You have to imagine that Vettel will break the all time points record some day.
