We can use this system for qualification as well with the "qualification WDC". E. g. for this race Vettel could score 4 points maximum (if he finishes 1st or 2nd). If he finishes in a lower position, his points won't be changed. Raikkönen's maximum points are 6 for the race, but he can "earn" 10 for the qual if he grabs the pole. The other possibility is that the current maximum points will remain limiters, so Kimi would get 8 for third, and the same 8 points even if he reaches the front row.<br /><br />1b - A simpler way to do this is the following: we reduce the points of the top3 in the championship standings by 4/2/1 respectively for Q and R, and by 3/2/1 for C. So if Vettel and the Red Bull scores a perfect weekend, one can score (8-4) + (8-4) + (6-3) = 11 points with a Vettel/Vettel/RBR prediction, while one can score (5-1) + (5-0) + (3-0) = 12 points with a Rosberg/Hamilton/Lotus guess, if Rosberg finishes second in Q while Hamilton finishes second in the race and the Lotus guys are 3rd+6th (Rosberg DNF, Webber DNF). I hope it's clear but I'm not sure it is :)<br />(2 - Ban Vettel from Race and Red Bull from Constructors (though there weren't such option))<br />3 - Ban Vettel from Qualifying and Race and Red Bull from Constructors<br />4 - Ban Vettel from Race<br />5 - Ban Vettel from Qualifying and Race<br />6 - No Bankiszolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686459265744756479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508632069966520515.post-27261476534037651292013-10-03T19:41:56.832+01:002013-10-03T19:41:56.832+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.kiszolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686459265744756479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508632069966520515.post-71113595470374972562013-10-03T17:21:38.324+01:002013-10-03T17:21:38.324+01:00Qualifying: Vettel

I think this seems to be pretty fair! 50 points is probably enough to decide one driver is too dominant. Has anyone ever won the championship that far back? Same opinions for Q.

Ban Vettel from race and Red Bull from Constructors – this is because I think the following rule should be applied: a driver is banned from race when they have a 50 point lead in the championship and a constructors team should be banned when they have a 100 point lead in the championship, for the rest of the season (unless the lead falls to under 25 points and 50 points respectively - This is a clear and transparent guideline going forward as well).<br />2. Ban Vettel from Qualifying and Race, and Red Bull from Constructors (as above after consideration I don't think Vettel deserves to be banned from qualifying yet so I suggest the same rule as above but with a qualifying table being drawn up where a lead of over 50 points means a ban too. It's incredibly easy to do for me. Currently Vettel has 244 points, Hamilton 228, Rosberg 183, Webber 137, therefore no ban for Vettel.)<br />3. Ban Vettel from Race<br />4.
