Exactly. Before I asked the question, I was looking at the points and thinking choosing Vettel and winning a GP was worth 100pts whereas choosing the Red Bull car one was worth 60pts. However, if its the combined team score, then it obvious depends on the second Red Bull car which would need to finish second to better the driver points. Hope you understand that? Makes it harder in the driver vs team decision. PS...I have a solution though; spend 50% of the budget by picking Vettel and Red Bull
Yeah just the last race in Brazil I read somewhere though had that rule existed in the past 20 years it wouldve altered the champion twice or something like that
Abu Dhabi and past winners are Vettell - RBR Kimi - Lotus Hamilton - McLaren Vetell - RBR Vetell - RBR
Why is that then? Vettel won vast majority of races last year and Webber (I know) wasn't far behind him. Rolling in the points PS...I was joking BTW PPS...or was I
Abu Dhabi not Brazil. And yeah, wouldn't have made much difference in most seasons which is why Bernie wants to change it to last 4 races so it actually has an effect. I don't think they need to do it at all this year though as Red Bull shouldn't dominate as much as they have in last few years.
Its ridiculous really. Its effectively saying the rest of the season doesn't matter too much, its all about the last four races (if he'd got his way). Bit like Rugby League; doesn't matter that ones finished six wins ahead of second, it goes to a playoff final so the best team might not win.
Oh yeah right you're It was Brazil but Abu Dhabi have obv payed a lot to have it there as last race 1 Mar 16 Australian Grand Prix 06:00 (in 5 days) 2 Mar 30 Malaysia Grand Prix 09:00 3 Apr 6 Bahrain Grand Prix 16:00 4 Apr 20 Chinese Grand Prix 08:00 5 May 11 Spanish Grand Prix 13:00 6 May 25 Monaco Grand Prix 13:00 7 Jun 8 Canadian Grand Prix 19:00 8 Jun 22 Austrian Grand Prix 13:00 9 Jul 6 British Grand Prix 13:00 10 Jul 20 German Grand Prix 13:00 11 Jul 27 Hungarian Grand Prix 13:00 12 Aug 24 Belgian Grand Prix 13:00 13 Sep 7 Italian Grand Prix 13:00 14 Sep 21 Singapore Grand Prix 13:00 15 Oct 5 Japanese Grand Prix 07:00 16 Oct 12 Russian Grand Prix 12:00 17 Nov 2 United States Grand Prix 20:00 18 Nov 9 Brazilian Grand Prix 16:00 19 Nov 23 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Yup and that's what most teams think and are saying that it favours those teams like Red Bull who may not be 100% ready at the start but by the time those racers come around they'll have the mid year testing session to sort things out and allow them to catch up in the table. On other hand, if the last 4 races meant more points then you'd prob see a lot more movement in the table to help make the end of the season more interesting (that's Bernie's view) but I think most fans and teams think it's too much of a gimmick but are scared to say no as he has so much power.
Forget the past imo (and hoping as well) New engines, new KERS which last a lot longer per lap, drivers going to have to be more clever

Do that with the football teams so often before the season starts. I'm pretty happy with mine. Got both cares for 2 teams, 2 racers from same team and then 1 of each from another. 2 expensive racers, 2 cheap racers. 2 expensive teams, 2 cheap teams
