V8 style point standings. :p : Low reliability level is really costing decent positions for Red Bull teams. And Renault has been more reliable than BMW.

What do the * stand for?

Educated guess: Rookies.

Lately I've been pondering a system of 15-11-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 with 1 bonus point for setting the fastest lap and another for leading the most laps, but I'm not really excited about sitting down and figuring it out.

[Allyc85]

interesting reading that.

Ive always wanted a couple points for fastest lap, it would keep people pushing on for longer.

And that clearly shows why these point systems don't work for for F1. I think there is no doubt that the general concensus is that Hiedfield/BMW has been a better driver/car package then Fisico/Renault.

Now that Schumacher is gone, i just want the good old points back.
Winner 10, 2nd loser 6

So under that system, the winner was also the first loser?

[Webslinger]

I like both the RaikkonenRules and the Jens points systems and would be happy to go with either. The current system in F1 is just so archaic and needs a major overhaul.

[seppefan]

No points. Just the most wins, second places etc etc.

We would see much better racing then rather than passing in the pits most of the time.

[RaikkonenRules]

Yes * does mean rookie
