Re: What Has Caused the Redbull Decline?

Newey has been the ONE that was able to tie all the data inputs from all departments into a implementable solution.

That same date is coming to the 'brain trust' but nobody can tie it all together.

Newey is someone that is greater than the position he has held.

Re: New points system

Yes, I agree with you, I am not sure how handicapping one competitor makes sense, in any sport frankly. Never been a racer have you? Never played sports, have you?

It is a form of the Winner earning the win - not having it handed to him. The name of the activity is RACING, not 'comply with the move over flag'!

Re: New points system

Being lapped by the leader is a different kind of pass. Before the pass is completed, the car being overtaken when a Safety Car is called can continue to circulate around and catch up to the back of the field for the subsequent restart.

Want and exclusive point system - any FINISHER that is not on the lead lap is excluded from scoring any point. Points will be awarded to all finishers ON THE LEAD LAP. That would seem eminently fair.

All FINISHERS should accrue points. DNF = NO POINTS - A finisher is someone that takes the checker while the car is in operation. If a team retires the car, before the checker, even if it has completed enough laps to otherwise be considered a Finisher - for points it would be DNF. The more exclusiv...
