Message: [QUOTE="RasputinLives, post: 53954, member: 1057"] Ok guys as I mentioned on the rookie thread I was trying to come up with a way of ranking drivers where every race counts and I came up with the idea that instead of awarding points you could just add all the drivers official finishing positions together and the driver with the smallest total would obviously be at the top of the table. For example: Hamilton Aus = 2 Mal = 8 Chi = 1 Tur = 4 Spa = 2 Mon = 6 Total = 23 The driver with the smallest total would obviously be at the top of the table. Rather than stick to the rookies I thought I'd try it with the whole field and see what difference it made. This way of ranking you pay a much higher price for a non-finish(although this was lessened slightly for Maldonado by the amount that had gone out before him at Monoco) and a I guess it awards consistancy. Big winners in this converstion are Mark Webber who is up to second and consistant quick Nick who is up to 6th (are you watching Mr Boullier?). Big losers are Massa with his 2 DNF's putting him 12th! Buemi is putting Alguersuari to the sword. Trulli is having a lot better season than we thought and d'Ambrosio should be well pleased with himself. I found it interesting that despite claims by some that the WC standings are mis-leading when it comes to Di Resta/Sutil and Heidfeld/Petrov they still come out the same way round if the ranking was done this way. I was hoping it would actually make the title race closer but Vettel still leads by a country mile - only this way we'd only need 1 DNF for everyone to be right back in it. 1 - Vettel - 7 2 - Webber - 22 3 - Hamilton - 23 4 - Button - 24 5 - Alonso - 27 6 - Heidfeld - 50 7 - Rosberg - 57 8 - Kobayashi - 64 9 - Petrov - 67 10 - Buemi - 68 11 - Sutil - 68 12 - Massa - 72 13 - Schumacher - 75 14 - Di Resta - 78 15 - Barrichello - 92 16 - Alguersuari - 101 17 - Trulli - 101 18 - Perez - 106 19 - Kovalainen - 106 20 - d'Ambrosio - 108 21 - Maldonado - 112 22 - Glock - 118 23 - Liuzzi - 125 24 - Karthikeyan - 135 If you think they're interesting I shall carry on doing them for the rest of the season - if not we'll put it down to an experiment and move on. *** I didn't know what to do about Perez in Monoco - officially he was 24th as he did not start but as this was due to an injury it seems harsh to award him a 24. I did but if anyone can think of a fairer way to rank him in Monoco then let me know and I'll edit it. [/QUOTE]
