F1 system is very close to FIM's. Formula one's is: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1, multiplying by 2.5 we get 25-20-15-12.5-10-7.5-5-2.5, what fits very well with FIM's 25-20-16-13-11-...
The main difference is FIM rewards better those in 7th or lower position, but it is not very significant for top riders/drivers.
More interesting would be comparing to the former F1 system 10-6-4-3-2-1, who translates to 25-15-10-7.5-5-2.5, and it's very different: wins are very important! This year it would go in profit of Rossi and Pedrosa.
