I agree with @jleigh, I’ve always thought that podium places should be worth a lot more. I’d cut it down to 8 places though, because I think getting into the points should be an achievement rather than something obvious for half the teams. Given that we have 22 cars, that’s more than 33% being awarded points.
Thus, 15-10-7-5-4-3-2-1. And if you’re insistent on 10 places being awarded, then 25-15-10-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 sounds perfect.

I disagree. They’ll usually not ‘supserstitious’ outside competition, so I think the reason why they repeat a certain kind behaviour is to have a routine and avoid unnecessary noise if you will. Once their rhythm gets interrupted they start to feel uncomfortable/lose their concentration.
Say drivers always want their helmet – they don’t believe that this particular helmet brings them luck, but having a different helmet is another new element which can sway your concentration. You keep thinking to yourself ‘I have a new helmet’, opposed to it being a non-issue. Many tennis players avoid touching the lines while going on and off the court, just because it is another routine that permits them to keep their concentration levels up. I, for example, always have to take 3-4 steps backwards before coming back forwards to return. You do/avoid things to catch a rhythm and to focus.
Also, if I were to choose my number it’d be 7, 9, 13 :)

25th November 2013, 14:26 at 2:26 pm #245796Victor.Participant1. General technical regulations
– Reduce wings, allow for ground effect
– Increase the power output of the engines by quite a bit
– Open up other avenues for development.
– Get rid of DRS…2. Tyres
Make tyres fatter, scrap the arbitrary rules and allow teams to run all tyre compounds on Friday, before having to select two for Saturday and Sunday.
3. Practice sessions
Reduce Friday practice sessions to 1h.
4. Less tarmac run-off.
Use a stripe of astro before tarmac in quick corners and gravel for slow-medium ones.
5. Testing
– Only be permitted to test with reserve drivers.
– Tyre testing has to take place during one of the days of post-race testing with all teams.14th November 2013, 20:45 at 8:45 pm #245238Victor.ParticipantIt’s been a really weird week for motorsport…
7th October 2013, 8:31 at 8:31 am #242799Victor.ParticipantI also like the Chinese GP trophy, although the Hungarian one is by far the best.
4th July 2013, 16:50 at 4:50 pm #191582Victor.ParticipantWasn’t a great episode
26th June 2013, 21:39 at 9:39 pm #238271Victor.ParticipantAre you Paul di Resta? :)
Awesome stuff!
25th June 2013, 12:10 at 12:10 pm #238203Victor.ParticipantI like it a lot.
Two drawbacks:
1) Costs.
2) Tyres could end up invincible.23rd June 2013, 13:23 at 1:23 pm #238129Victor.ParticipantVandoorne is phenomenal. Where is da Costa this year? Sure, he’s had two retirements, but he’s not as frightening as last year.
12th June 2013, 18:30 at 6:30 pm #237621Victor.ParticipantThis is pathetic…
8th May 2013, 17:08 at 5:08 pm #236394Victor.ParticipantI guess this isn’t a race?
20th April 2013, 14:02 at 2:02 pm #232194Victor.ParticipantSlightly dissapointed with Evans, Calado, and most of all with Frijns.
I’m the most surprised by Calado’s performance so far. Frijns has been out of the car for a while and is new to GP2, so I’m willing to let him off.
23rd March 2013, 1:24 at 1:24 am #228979Victor.ParticipantNeither can I…
22nd March 2013, 19:40 at 7:40 pm #229220Victor.ParticipantEither way, Calado to dominate the championship with Nasr coming second and Evans doing a Calado over the two years in GP2, i.e. impressing this year and winning the next. BOOM.
