This year 2009 Formula 1 season drivers' championship title will be awarded to the driver who wins the most races, and not based on points.... If two or more drivers finish the season with the same number of winning races.. then the driver with the most points will win.. The points being based on the current 10, 8, 6 etc. system.
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has welcomed the new rules. He said: "If I need a gold medal to win the championship, I will overtake. It's just not on that someone can win the championship without winning a race." "If you're in the lead and I'm second, I wouldn't want to risk falling off the circuit or doing something stupid to get two points."
I think this system is fair.. especially for the 2008 season case where Messa won more race then Hamilton but lost the championship because of points... A good driver should be winning races instead of depending other drivers to drop points or relying on teammate to win... Now Messa and Hamilton have to overtake each other to win.. instead of lying low to grab a point or two and hope of the other driver to retire...
This year will be a more exciting year for Formula 1 Grand Prix... And i'm looking forward to the Singapore Night race again.....
