    The new system has been scrapped due to teams complaining about it (Y) (Y) (Y)

    It was a mad idea. Championship could be decided halfway through.

    RE: I liked the idea

    Would you be up for the championship table going on wins as well? It was a ***** idea because it's fair as it is. The best person over the season wins the world title. There was no need to change it to begin with.

    If I'm being honest

    I'm not looking at it from the 'points system is fairer' view. I'm looking at it from an entertainment view.
    Watching races where a driver is going for the win is much better than watching a race where a driver is sat in a certain position where he's happy to stay.

    I don't think the new system was the best solution IMHO. I'd much prefer the 10-6-4 points system, because surely that would encourage teams to go for the higher places more often, and also reward the drivers over the course of the season.

    Agreed

    ...and if they want to weight the table towards the winners then they should just give more points to the winner. It used to be 12 points for a win.

    Which was basically what the teams suggested orignally

    But Bernie wanted his gold medal system.

    Deciding on wins alone is just a stupid idea in my opinion. Jut put a bigger differential in if you want to reward bolder driving
