If the old system had been in force then Coulthard would have been free to race Raikkonen in Japan - so the Suzuka result may have been different. Would DC have beaten KR in the Suzuka race?

can i just say that these results are not totally reliable. if you were using the old system then people would be fighting stronger to defend their sixth place, where now they have three points they wouldnt be going so hard as they would still have 2 in 7th. if ya get my meening

With you on that one. It's like when people say Michael would have run away with the title in '99 had he not broken his leg, due to the mistakes Hakkinen made. Those mistakes likely wouldn't have happened had Schuey been racing with him.

You're right of course, but it's just one of those things we do sometimes: ponder 'what ifs'!
As for DC at Suzuka, x, I think DC had the legs on Kimi, for whatever reason, so I think he could have beaten him. |

DC & Kimi at Suzuka. It is too hard to tell who would have run. They were on different strategies after Kimi was (changed to?) a 2 stop. I don't think a 2 stop was the way to go, but McLaren had to try something (take a risk) to make up for the 15s+ lost behind the Toyota to Rubens.

How about this for a new score system. No points for WDC only count wins. The second car's (only one can win)points go towards WCC.
Example: So if JB wins a race he is in the WCC title race with 1 win. Sato comes in 8th he gets 1 point - which goes towards Bar's WCC tally. |
