28 cars - points scored down to 10th ?
As the thread title sugests do you think the points system should change if we have 26/28 cars down to 10th place. It would give some of these newcomers something to aim for as 8th could be a tall order for some of them so points for the top 10 would keep people interested down the field.

yes i do. points sytems need to be extended to create a chance for the newbies, otherwise they may be left in the shade, for next year at least.
Id like 16-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for top 12 personally, but top ten could be like BTCC with 15-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. however, i doubt this will happen.Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Points down to 10th wouldn't be a bad idea if there were 26 or more cars for next season. Not that giving points down to 10th will happen.

In past 26 grid-F1, points scoring positions were only for the first six. Therefore, I think the current system of eight is ok, only the given points are wrong, at least the difference between 1st and 2nd position.
12-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 would be better in my opinion.

No, I don't. Points scored down to eighth is bad enough, I would like to see the points system remain where it is.

I believe the teams have all thumbsed-up (I've got a degree in English, I can get away with inventing words ) the current points system for another year - although my personal preference is for the old WRC 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 system.
I've mentioned this several times before on this forum and no one at the FIA has been listening - but then I've suggested we could do with even more than 26 cars before, so I remain hopeful...https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/stugrovesf1.wordpress.com

With points to 10th, this is my "proposal," along with my reasoning.
The gap from 1st to 2nd must be bigger than 2nd to 3rd. Therefore, the winner gets 20 points, while second gets 15, and third gets 12. Because of these gaps, drivers will likely drive their tails off all race long.
If you don't make the podium, the next best thing is a top-five. Therefore, 4th place gets 9, while 5th gets 7 points.
Places 6-10 are separated by one point: 5-4-3-2-1.
It will look like this: 20-15-12-9-7-5-4-3-2-1

No. If nothing else reliability is so good at the moment (and should continue into 2010) that even if points were extended to 15th the newbies would still struggle to get on the score board.
If we want to give the little guys something to aim for perhaps we could reinstate the Jim Clark cup, and have only new teams (under 5 years) eligable for points.All other opinions are wrong....

I would be in favour of points down to 10 on a 12-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 scale.
If you start giving out 15-20 points for a win, you may as well rip up the history books, Alain Prost's 798.5 on the old 9 points for a win scale would look like a second rate record within 10 years if that were to happen"Alboreto, into the pits, and im going to stop the startwatch" (Murray Walker, Monaco 1987)
If I remember well, that 2C Hyundai was basically put together from parts that was available, that's why sometimes it was a very interesting hybrid of various i20 evolutions.
