Do you really believe the Bernie's vision will come true?

If Bernie's medals system was applied in the 2008 season the constructors ranking will be like this:


1- Ferrari 8 Golds


2- McLaren 6 Golds


3- Renault 2 Golds (??????????????)


4- BMW Sauber 1 Gold 7 Silvers (???????????)


5- Torro Rosso 1 Gold


6- Toyota 1 Silver 1 Bronze


6- Williams: 1 Silver 1 Bronze


8- Honda 1 Bronze


8- Red bull 1 Bronze


10- Force India 0


I mean how can Williams have the same ranking as Toyota???? and Honda the same as Red Bull? Or how is Renault above BMW??


Also Rosberg will move up the ranking from 13th to 8th!!!! above Truli, Glock and Webber!!!!!!!!


Personally I think it will never happen. And I don't think that ';the teams'; will be very happy!Do you really believe the Bernie's vision will come true?
Bernie is senile. I mean the whole idea is wrong in so many ways.





First of all, the purpose is supposedly to make races more exciting right? But he doesn't seem to realise that in order to overtake another car first you have to be able to catch the damn car. Medals won't help them go faster.





The only thing this would do is make the championship more boring. Not only there will be relatively few overtaking moves but it will also hand the world championship to whatever team makes the fastest car, regardless of mistakes, bad decision making and regardless of how consistent the other drivers are being. So this is like giving the finger to the drivers who, having the second best car, manage to do more with it during the season. Or the the teams that manage to make a car that can go fast AND be reliable.





And then, why fix something that is not broken. The championship was pretty thrilling and the truth is Massa lost the championship because of mistakes on the part of his pitcrew, reliability and sometimes his own mistakes. If we took out just one mistake, he would be the world champion. It had nothing to do with the points system.





Yes, the idea of a driver winning the WDC without winning a single race is scary but it hasn't even come close so why think about that. It is so unlikely. In order for that to happen, the 2 top teams would have to have IMPOSSIBLY terrible reliability. I just don't see it happening.





If anything they could tweak the current point system but why take such drastic measures? I hope the FIA doesn't listen to him.





EDIT: I think that maybe a possible solution to the b*tch known as bad reliability would be to take away the 2 worst results of the season. But then again I suppose that if they stopped using that system there must be a good reason.Do you really believe the Bernie's vision will come true?
I cant even believe that this system was proposed! If you think about it we've had two seasons down to the absolute wire at the last race...can't think of that hapenning for years...WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT BERNIE? F1 has finally become absolutely thrilling to watch...don't be a pillock, and leave things as they are...
Love to know what Bernie was smoking when he thought this up. I mean for crying out loud it's F1 not the damn Olympics. This was the first year I really paid attention to F1 and the points battle was pretty wild and turned me around from a basher to a someone who actually enjoys it.
I think between Bernie and Max they have a combined IQ of 50. He thinks it will increase passing? I highly doubt it...and on top of that what incentive does anybody have to race once the get out of turn one and realize they are in 10th spot and have no shot at any medal? Stupid...
Its a load of rubbish. You can't change the basis for F1 which has stood since it began to some crappy olympic system. Teams such as Force India may as not bother turning up. The season will be decided to early.





If you want to sort things out, then go back to the pre 2003 points system of giving 10 points for a win and 6 points for 2nd (instead of '8'). This rewards the winning driver more than it does at present. Remember, the only reason the current system was bought in was because of Michael Schumacher absolutely dominating in his F2002. F1 is now as close as ever with the top 3 or 4 teams in the running for wins. GO BACK TO THE OLD SYSTEM BERNIE





Also, in reference to your 'what if' scenario, its good to state it as show but you can't refer to a 'what if' scenario to say Ferrari would have won. If this system was in this year then I would have thought both drivers and teams would have adapted and reacted to different pressures. Its like when people say Eddie Irvine could have won the F1 driver's championship in 1999 under the current points system... 'what if' Schumacher didn't break his leg?
