The FIA, which is the governing body of F-1 has changed the rules slightly for 09. The driver with the most wins will be the champion and second place down will be determined by the existing points system.

Well, its not bad. It's really the right way to do it though. The driver that wins the most is champ.

There is 17 races this year. Basically every two weeks the race is in a different country.

Ah Nascar, nothing wrong with it, just not my cup o tea. So you don't think its right that the driver that WINS the most races wins the season ?
I know Nascar is huge in North America but not everyone likes to watch stock car racing that aren't stock cars anymore. It's not like it used to be when the "KING" was running the high banks kicking *** with Mopar. Myself I find it hard to watch now that its lost its grass roots feel and you have a bunch of 20 something year old rock stars going left all day. I hope I haven't pi$$ed anyone off, I am just an F-1 addict.

So lets say there are 4 guys that win 4 times each and a 5th guy that wins once while you have a 6th guy that finished in 2nd 12 out of 17 races and in 5th through 8th in the other 5 races. Who wins?

I wish I had Speed so that I could watch the truck series. I love seeing trucks racing.

Dude it's Sunday..too much math...lol
It would come down to the points system depending on their placement in the other races, kinda like Nascar, ya know you get so many points for keeping your shoes tied, so many points for driving left all day with a bucket of chicken, so many points for the # of teeth you have missing...lol
