I think with second thought you will regret what you said here. It is simply impossible.

Some advantages of the new system. 
1) Everyone will get points. Suppose Super Aguri run their two cars without trouble to finish, even if they are always the last two on the track during the race, they will still get 3 pts in the end.
2) Big bonus for the winner. 5 pts equal about the pts earned by leading the race for one fouth of a gp distance.
3) Encourage overtaking. Track positions are vital, any lap that you run stucked behind your rival will mean you are losing pts to him, drivers will be desperate to pass on track.
4) Championship down to the wire. Do you like the idea of someone clinching the title with 5 races to go? Well with this one it will be a very unlikely scenario. Mostly because there are 8 extra pts up for grab each race. Take this year for example, Alonso won't feel comfortable when he's running second to MS, and he certainly won't win the title finishing second all the time in the second half of the season, which is possible under the current system.
5) Vast range of possibilities. Let's assume the championship goes to the last race with the leader A 3 pts ahead closest contender B. In the race however, B is brilliant and has a comfortable lead over A towards the end of the race. Although it's not very likely for A to overtake B, A still has a chance to win the WDC by setting the FL. Meanwhile it's up to B to prevent that from happening...What a race that would be!

It will boost the quality of racing and will be especially helpful for an exciting showdown among the title contenders.

A New Points System For F1
Essence: Points will be awarded according to the average track positions in a race.
Gist: After each lap, 22 provisional pts are awarded to the race leader, and 21 provisional pts to the driver running second and so forth. Do so for every single lap of the GP distance, and at the end of the race we get a summation of points for each driver, noted as P. The championship points for a driver is then decided by P/N, where N is the number of total laps of that particular grand prix.
Extras: 3 points are awarded to the fastest lap time holder; 5 points are awarded to the race winner.
Illustration: Say, if Alonso starts 2nd on the grid at Silverstone and overtakes the pole sitter to lead after lap 1, he will be awarded 22 provisional pts, if he is quick enough to lead every single lap of the race, then after the race, (22*60/60)+5=22+5=27 championship pts are awarded to him. If he further sets FL, he then gets a 30, which is also the maximum a driver could get out of a race.
It's actually a variable points system and I think it would be huge fun. Comments please!

F1_SPORTING_REGULATIONS
116) a) Any driver whose car stops on the circuit during the qualifying session will not be permitted to take any further part in the session. Any car which stops on the circuit during the qualifying session, and which is returned to the pits before the end of the session, will be held in parc ferme until the end of the session.
b) If, in the opinion of the stewards, a driver deliberately stops on the circuit or impedes another driver in any way during the qualifying practice session his times will be cancelled.
the vid is brilliant, looks like it's tons of fun and not as scary as you described.
sorry to hear about the broking rib tho.
what's the top speed on that course? do you guys qualify?
Be quick Marty, I remember you said it weeks ago.
How about giving us a comparison between LFS and RBR?
Since both have rally environment.I knew that Senna, you said it was not your fault and I believe in you.
Question is tho, since I haven't raced against others in a kart so I wanted to know if collisions are ubiquitous there.
during european prime times there's an average number of 800+ people online, but nearly half are demo racers. at weekend this number could easily top 1000. but man, it's still too slim a figure for such a great sim isn't it?
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!
dude I hope you're ok. is it very difficult to race cleanly in a kart? you sound very good at it of course.
LFS.
You should've known RBR I suppose.
Not quite... Do you really think if Silverstone, the Ring, Monza, etc are in LFS, no one would like to race on them?
How about allowing mods in a way that only track editing and importing is possible?
Nice one, we really need a better damage model btw.
Or another approach. Make LFS available for modding and the community will add any circuits we want. Well I don't think we need a license if it's not official.
6.Asking a question that has been covered in the opening post is kinda stupid.
After encounting oversteer, he might want to correct the wheel a bit to get a wider angle into the last corner to have a good initial speed leading to the backstraight, but he overdid that, when he realised that it was just too late, he had to park the car or he would've kissed the wall. But it did look very suspicious the way he did it. I am undecided whether he really did it on purpose, but I still think the stewards made the right choice.

From the above view his car was indeed sliding a bit, beginning from the entrance right to the middle of the corner.

I love the bit when Fisi overtook DC at the chicane, although it could well be him making a mistake. And Schumacher put a stunning driver indeed.
Michael Schumacher
made a deliberate move on Villeneuve in Jerez 97, as ruled by the governing body.

made a deliberate move to ruin others' run in qualifying Monaco 2006, as ruled by the govering body.
After all is said and done, he is a blindingly fast bloke who kept his passion and motivation all through his 15 odd years long F1 career, broke nearlly all the record that matters, and in the process put on many stunning performances the sport has ever seen.

1st - Button
2nd - Coulthard
3rd - Ron Dennis
He said he always wanted to bring more fun into F1.
Erm...sorry but what do you mean Schumacher 9th?
Hopefully we could finally blow the engine with its help.
Actually I thought about post the link directly, but then decided to do some EXTRA work to make the full contents available in the post FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE.
