As an addition to the posts I wrote on the different points systems used since 1950 and their fairness the other day, ManipeF1 has written an excellent post where he compares the greatest drivers of the sport using a normalised points scoring system here: A alternative view of points-scoring comparisons.

I think his post and the ones I have just done make excellent companions – his post is a very interesting way of looking at things!

Recently, the Sporting Working Group met in Paris and decided to vote through some proposals that would hopefully improve the racing this year. The most important of these was a radical change to the points system, which would drastically increase the amount of points for a win and award points down to tenth place, in order to help the new teams score some points this year (From my blog 'Making Up The Numbers).

Hey guys,

Here is my opinion on the Castrol Driver Rankings that AUTOSPORT launched today. Hope you enjoy it and feel free to comment on it ;)

Dear all readers of this blog,

Thank you so much for you readership and support in 2009 – your comments and ideas are what keeps this blog fresh and what keeps me making these posts. I have really enjoyed working on this blog all year and it is a real pleasure to see what people are saying about it. I am looking forward to new ideas and new partnerships in 2010 (more later) which should keep this blog entertaining and relevant.

It’s my turn to choose the topic for this week’s ‘Thursday Thoughts’ question – a blog series started by Sidepodcast and I chose to ask “What do you want to get F1 for Christmas and why?”

The reason I asked this is because I think Christmas is a time of giving and sharing – and with such a rollercoaster year in the sport, I think there are a few people in F1 that could do with some Christmas cheer!
