Hamilton opposes new points rule.

The amount of variables that determine a seasons out comes are vast and many. So as usual thats another one of your complete none arguments
There's alot of talk lately from forums and media, talking about had the new rules been in place, Lewis would have lost the WC ect ect. Well they was not and he did. Those kind of arguments are as stupid as saying if only he or massa had a puncture o the last lap, or if only Kimi had a problem on the last lap of the 2007 season. Its a silly argument, it is what it is.
I am sure every driver will adapt to the new rules like they do every single year. Adapt on over come

 

Your like a little child Jim.

 

actual news would be finding someone (who isnt max or bernie) who doesnt oppose the new rules

 

Although, the poll going here right now is a *lot* closer than I expected, so maybe there are some (many?) out there in favor.

I actually don't know (!) - I could argue either case just to be argumentative.......

Cheers,
Ian

 

+1 however there will be some..

Well what have we here Jim, The Welwyn garden city, and Hatfield surrounding area Times!... where do you dig em up from..

Good on Lewis, although he must know it's a risky business speaking out about such thing's, his chances are now scuppered.

There is one thing Lewis cannot be criticized for, and that is going for the win's, so much so it has lost him races.
There is quite a easy solution, it's somewhere in the middle, awarding drivers for win's and awarding for consistancy, as proposed by the FOTA, point system a fair compromise, but I risk repeating myself..However you need someone with a small amount of brain cells, that have not been rendered senile and quite frankly bizzarre, to achive this.

 

Of course Hamilton opposes it. He knows he is gonna have to work for the championship, not luck into it.

 

Luck into it!! The only luck he needs is rain ... An absolutely ridiculous statement..

 

Yeh yeh yeh!!, that's a long playing record you got on Jim...

 

Didn't think you were old enough to remember that one either, Steve.

 

LOL

I think it's best if I try not to remember anything Ian, if I want to remain a fan of F1...

 

Luca, speaking for FOTA, has also come out against it. (didn't anyone tell him that Massa would have won last year?)
As I suspected it looks like the whole thing is designed to force a face-off between the FIA and FOTA.
Interesting times.
Let's hope that the racing doesn't interfere with the politics

 

Ha ha ha LOL trust you...

 

Steve, doesn't seem that with Bernie, Max and a few others its not at all about the racing? Rather just a non-specific Pi**ing match that we poor fans are caught in the middle of. (excuse the visual).

 

Ok win 9 races job done wrap it up go home and save alot of money, however if this is season turns out to be one with many contenders it will be unlikely this happens, so would someone like to do the math, on other scenarios.

I figure that it could be possible that you could come consistantly 2nd and 3rd for say 10/12 races with 2 race wins, yet be beaten, by a driver with 3 wins that DNF the rest.

 

Yeh and the trouble is it winds me up, I need you around to lighten my day Dave...

 

yeah just how a racing season should work - NOT

 

yeah thats it for sure, its not that he's really quick and talented - he's just lucky.

would they be supporting this cock up had massa won the championship - doubtful isnt it

 

On the grounds that the FIA seem to be applying the argument - "winning is everything and anything else doesn't matter", what's the logic behind not using the same basis for the constructors' championship as they're using for the drivers'? Is consistency not important for a driver but important for a car? Or, to put it the other way, if it's a measure of a car's performance to finish consistently well why shouldn't the same apply to a driver?

 

Good point Ian, I'am hoping a driver can wrap it up real early, to just show how ridiculous this rule is, and then the sponsers of F1 turn up at Bernies with base ball bats...

 

LH won a great championship.

I fully supported Massa and Ferrari. I fully support WINS over points any day of the week. Someone will win the title. They should win for winning and not being rewarded for consistently not WINNING. Its a simple concept that winning matters. There were wins before there were points. Points are politics and money. This season will be a good one.

Im a fan with NO control over anything in this circus of F1 but its great to watch. Like I said earlier they leveled the playing field and penalized Ferrari and MS for WINNING. I guess that was a good thing? Webber said it best - Dont like MS winning? Drive faster.

Maybe this year people will drive to win rather than cruise to P2 and count points.
