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.

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).

Ron Dennis was last night inducted into the new ‘Motorsport Hall Of Fame’ at London’s Camden Roundhouse. The event, the first of it’s kind is produced in association with Motorsport Magazine saw 8 founding members invited to join.

Formula One rarely stands still, two teams launched their 2010 cars last week and the 3rd - Mercedes opted for a livery only presentation on Monday.

Tomorrow sees Renault and Sauber launch their respective vehicles ahead of the first group test in Valencia on Monday.

Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes today launched the 2010 car, known as the MP4-25 at a packed Vodafone HQ in Newbury. The sky was overcast, and the weather a bit drizzly but the atmosphere within the presentation pavilion was anything but grey, as a boyant McLaren team unveiled the car they hope to return them to the front of the pack. The team had very kindly invited me to attend the launch of the MP4-25
