I like the idea. It might create a scenario where the championship is down to the fastest lap.
The two WDC contenders can still fight and defend even in different positions. We will see how that work out throughout the season.

That way the hundreds of millions of spent developing the engines/technology would be relevant for their road car divisions. 21k RPM small displacement V10s and V8s, that idle at 4k RPMs don't really apply to real world. |

20k RPM, turbo V8. That would be delicious and probably too fast, for the FIA at least. The current speculation is that Mercedes PU is around 1000hp when deploying KERS at the full rate. |

I would love a 3.0L 20K RPM N/A V8 with KERS...no Turbo and no fuel flow limit. You're correct about the MBZ PU. It was that around last season and should be a bit higher this season. It has surpassed the thermal efficacy of diesel engines at this point if the development rate has continued in this area. Here is an article from 2017: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/m...52330/3045918/ Great post, my friend!

What's the worst about altering the points system all the time?? It's the fact that you can no longer definitively compare points scored yr-over-yr....allowing you to compare F1 history; I recall 1991-2002 when the top six were awarded points (10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1).
Check out the history of F1 point scoring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...coring_systems

Mainly Renault who was threatening to quit. The irony is just too much.
