The pinnacle of motorsport follows MotoGP. Outstanding hummmm... better to learn the good traits though.
I think that something for Pole (say, 2 points) and perhaps same for fastest lap in the race would be good too - I think this new system will make it much less likely that we have a repeat of 09 where one team an basically rest on its laurels for the second half of the season and still coast to the championship like BrawnGP.
There is going to be a fascinating battle between the 4 new teams however this is likely to take place towards the back of the field. If only 8 teams score points, it is likely that this battle will be decided by freak races where there are a lot of retirements or safety cars etc... In fact, it is still likely that this will be the case with the top 10 scoring but it definitely gives them a better chance. I was very cautious of Jean Todt becoming president of the FIA but so far, he has made several good decisions with very little fuss.
Thank god the medals idea has been consigned to the scrapheap .
