I don't think we need any radical changes. I do prefer widening the
gap to first, I also prefer to see point go further down the field
to make it simple to differentiate the midfield teams performances.
Most teams should have something to fight for. I don't understand
arguments to the contrary.

As someone who had that view let me explain: You're wrong. :)

I suppose there are 3 reasons for my feeling that way.

1. Historical comparison and change to what is familiar and feels
right.

Fail.

I see you've discovered a new word and likely the blog page where you can
see many of your aspirations and perhaps some of your achievements.

But the point you missed is that this is me explaining why I *feel* the
way I do. The idea that you can presume to say I'm wrong says not a
little about your comprehension and a lot about your need to play the put
-down card perpetually.

That having been said, I could very happily accept this in a fairer
form and if this was truly what it was about the points system would
have changed in 2003 to:

100
60
40
30
20
10
5
3
2
1


Thus undermining your own points above. Very good.

What it really comes down to is not how far down the order the points
go but that the higher performing teams/drivers are suitably rewarded
in relative terms.

Perhaps rather than inventing false arguments you should have taken
this line which incidentally, if it is not already obvious, I agree to
to an extent.

Well at least you had part of a discussion :)
