Your right, just make 1st place 12 or 15 points. Whatever they say it's still a point system, it has to be.

...maybe even flip a coin as to determine which direction the race itself will be run..
...random water sprinklers at various parts of each circuit? how about a chain race.. that'll amuse us

the last two championships have been determined in the final race of the season, why would they change a thing to do with the points system?
more points to first place just means the champion will be determined in qualifying
more points to first place just means the champion will be determined in qualifying

Bernie's divorce must be scrambling his brain. I have this to say to him about that:
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour **** out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.
the only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of your of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

Close. The Wheel of Inversion would work great for F1. Make cars pit at half-time then spin a wheel to determine your placement going out. Hey, it worked GREAT for Speed World Challenge at Charlotte.
I still wanna break something every time I think about that.

LMAO @ wheel of inversion. That was the worst thing that was called racing I've ever seen.
Remember the tractor tire chicanes that people would hit, and move thereby creating a "systematically adjusting environment" to race in? BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
BTW this is retarded, just change the freaking point system, is this supposed to be so easy a caveman can do it by having the drivers show up with a pile of medals and count them at the end of the season? Just stupid. Either way, with a big enough lead, you wont need to win the last race, unless they make the season finale worth adjustable to whatever amount it needs to be for anyone in the top 5 driver points to win. That would be interesting.

Put the Indy 500 back on the F1 calendar (yes, the 500 in May). The cost would be a drop in the bucket for these teams to lease a car for one month.
Make the points for this race equal at least triple any other race that season.
Better yet, why not have the entire F1 field compete in 1-2 NACAR races....yea, that would be awesome!

The championship should be time based like the Tour de France. If you win by 10 seconds one week and lose by ten seconds to your rival the next then you're even. If you have a great week and lap the field you get to suck the rest of the year and stil possibly win the championship.
It would certainly put more focus on reliability. By the way, a DNF would have a set time loss similar to being lapped.

Make a 'best 15 of 18' rule or something like that. I dislike the possibility of a single DNF essentially eliminating a competitor for the rest of the year, which could easily happen, especially in a tight year. Grand Prix racing is not supposed to be endurance racing - I want to see the stakes raised so that fighting for a win is of utmost importance, but still have the 19th place worth enough that we get to see 3-wheeled cars circling the track.

I'm sure Max and Bernie are open to ANY Ideas.
I would find it hard to believe there are any "Throw Away" races in professional racing. Imagine Schumacher and Ferrari not racing the last 4 or 5 races because they have the championship locked up already.
