Oh @#$%& (new points system and more)

this is really unprofessional, but it will be good for them all to work out a better system for 2010.

of course, hopefully with the new regulations, there won't be need for a new points system at all

Quoth the Bernie:

"That’s the problem with democracy. These teams couldn’t agree with themselves let alone each other. The simple fact is that because the sporting regs are out the FIA cannot do anything for now, but we will do next year. There is nothing the teams can do about it then. For now it’s just a shame that fans, the sporting public, may not see the kind of racing they would have done under the system I put forward."

Dunno what the heck he's been smoking but very little of that resembles the truth and/or common sense in any way. o.O

He's actually going senile. That's a ridiculous thing to come out with, not just hugely pompous, but epically out touch with popular opinion. It's amazing to think there's a situation now where one of the planet's most popular sports is at the mercy of a 78 year-old geriatric.

...Ecclestone has since told BBC Radio 5 Live, however, that the new 'winner takes all' rule will be applied from the 2010 championship onwards: "It will be supported by the FIA and it will be in the regulations. So when people enter the championship, that's what the regulation will be. It's logic - in athletics you look at the 100 metres, you're not looking at the guy that's second, you're looking at the winner. In most sports people are looking at winners."


That's an idiot's assessment of the championship right there. I can't believe he's made that comparison. Someone get rid of this man.

I wish to be FIA to do this with Bernie:



Now whos the smashed penguin??

Seriously, look at another motorsports... DTM has a normal points system and see it is fun, same Moto GP, etc... so, why change it?

Anyway, if they apply that in 2010 and half of the teams (including Ferrari) dont want to run with that... Can they apply the system?

I hope not. Don't new rules have to be given thumbs up by FOTA?

In the case ol' Bernard is describing, no. It would probably be a good idea to do so in the interest of avoiding another FISA/FOCA-style war that could tear the sport apart but I doubt that's anywhere in Bernie's mind right now. As long as the FIA introduce this into the 2010 rules before the appropriate deadline, which IIRC is somewhere in October or November this year, it simply becomes a fact of the championship and the options of the teams dwindle to 'enter for 2010' or 'don't'. Of course, they're contractually obligated to enter until 2012 if I remember right, so yeah. >.>
