Most wins = Our Nige would've had 3 world championships!
And Sir Stirling wouldn't be the greatest driver never to win the championship. |

Still think it's going to be a load of follow-my-leader again though.
Hope its the opposite of follow my leader and there is a lot of competition for 1st place. There is a chance that the season could be won early tho if someone manages a a few winning runs making the end of the season boring and pointless to watch. |

No to mention people coasting in protecting their engines if they can't win and the likelyhood of dubious team orders protect their 'most wins' car.

That's true! Didn't spot that. It does seem ridiculous to me to change the scoring system to this extent. I can see the reason behind it, but it seems that it'll be so flawed in practise. I can see the championship being decided very early on, with teams more likely to put their focus on one driver from a much earlier stage in the season. Still very much looking forward to seeing the absolutely ridiculous looking Formula 3000-esque cars on getting away from the lights at Albert Park though. On an unrelated note, I hope they bring back Adelaide and scrap Melbourne, it's total shit. |

Guns, spiked hubs and oil slicks all at the command of the driver and/or pitlane? Or maybe they could have a system where by if you get within a metre of a competitor the lead car can nominate a piece of Aerodynamics to be jettisoned from the opposition car at 200mph. |

THat's silly. The cars would be lopsided with bits of them dragging along the ground. It would be a mess. |

I think there's a fine balance between too little overtaking and too much overtaking. That's why I don't like circuit bike racing it's just too easy to pass. Speedway's got it right though.

But even then, probably a lot more interesting than the roundy-roundy all-the-same car racing bollocks it is at the moment.  <I am going to get so much flak for posting this> [url width=500 height=375]http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/5345887.jpg[/url] |

St. Come Du Mont 88mm flak gun. Preserved in France. It could be used long range to blow away Jenson Button at Flins Les Mureaux in 2011 hopefully. |

looks like it'd be shit going round the track.
It's all about the laser in goldfinger. It could leave a mark on the moon! Imagine the advertising potential.
