What if Drivers & Constructors Championships were decided by grid positions??

2002

1. M Schumacher 122pts
2. Montoya 98pts
3. Barrichello 88pts
4. R Schumacher 63pts
5. Raikkonen 33pts
6. Coulthard 27pts
7. Fisichella 4pts
8. Heidfeld 2pts
9. Irvine 2pts
10. Trulli 2pts
11. Button 1pt

TEAMS -

1. Ferrari 210pts
2. Williams 161pts
3. McLaren 60pts
4. Jordan 4pts
5. Renault 3pts
6. Sauber 2pts
7. Jaguar 2pts


not much to note hear, but it shows how little variety there was, just 11 drivers would have scored points, showing a much bigger gap between team development

also look at the teams the top 2 over 100pts away from mclaren , then everyone else a further 50+ points back , big gaps

2001 :P

1. M Schumacher 136pts
2. R Schumacher 74pts
3. Montoya 55pts
4. Coulthard 50pts
5. Hakkinen 47pts
6. Barrichello 47pts
7. Trulli 19pts
8. Frentzen 8pts
9. Heidfeld 2pts
10. Villeneuve 1pt
11. Panis 1pt
12. Fisichella 1pt
13. Irvine 1pt

TEAMS -

1. Ferrari 183pts
2. Williams 129pts
3. McLaren 97pts
4. Jordan 27pts
5. Sauber 2pts
6. BAR 2pts
7. Benetton 1pt
8. Jaguar 1pt

no major differences - biggest thing is ralf would have been second , quite a margin ahead of everyone else tbh. the constructors shows a big gap between 1 & 2, 2&3 and 3 & everyone else.

2000

1. M Schumacher 124pts
2. Hakkinen 99pts
3. Coulthard 88pts
4. Barrichello 56pts
5. Trulli 20pts
6. Frentzen 15pts
7. R Schumacher 13pts
8. Button 8pts
9. Fisichella 6pts
10. Villeneuve 6pts
11. Wurz 2pts
12. De La Rosa 2pts
13. Irvine 2pts
14. Zonta 1pt

TEAMS -

1. McLaren 187pts
2. Ferrari 180pts
3. Jordan 35pts
4. Williams 21pts
5. Benetton 8pts
6. BAR 7pts
7. Arrows 2pts
8. Jaguar 2pts


the biggest thing to note here is that mclaren would actually have won the constructors championship by 7pts, this is because as the drivers shows , Rubens was miles behind Michael , yet the two McLaren drivers were equally high on points, resulting in what would have been a teams title for mclaren

1999 -

1. Hakkinen 129pts
2. Coulthard 74pts
3. M Schumacher 57pts
4. Irvine 43pts
5. Frentzen 42pts
6. Barrichello 26pts
7. Alesi 8pts
8. Panis 7pts
9. R Schumacher 7pts
10. Fisichella 6pts
11. Hill 5pts
12. Salo 4pts
13. Zanardi 3pts
14. Villeneuve 3pts
15. Herbert 3pts


Teams

1. McLaren 203pts
2. Ferrari 104pts
3. Jordan 47pts
4. Stewart 29pts
5. Williams 10pts
6. Sauber 8pts
7. Prost 7pts
8. Benetton 6pts
9. BAR 3pts

mclaren would have won both the drivers & teams in 99, due to greater consitensy by BOTH drivers, whereas ferrari on the other hand had just the one good driver on pace - Schumi, and even after his accident he would still have been in 3rd place only 20pts of 2nd , nobody else below could overtake him in the standings, even with him missing however many races it was .

McLarens gap in the constructors would have been 99pts. A large gap.

1998

1. Hakkinen 124pts
2. Coulthard 88pts
3. M Schumacher 80pts
4. Irvine 29pts
5. Villeneuve 24pts
6. Fisichella 23pts
7. Frentzen 11pts
8. R Schumacher 10pts
9. Hill 9pts
10. Wurz 7pts
11. Alesi 6pts
12. Herbert 2pts
13. Barrichello 2pts
14. Salo 1pt

Teams -

1. McLaren 212pts
2. Ferrari 106pts
3. Williams 35pts
4. Benetton 30pts
5. Jordan 19pts
6. Sauber 8pts
7. Stewart 2pts
8. Arrows 1pt




just as in 99, mclarens consistency and having both drivers up high in the results would have helped them to both titles, again by significant margins, Ferrari again would have been let down by Irvines ridiculously poor qualy performance across the year.
