The reality is that the points system is the most logical compromise to try to ensure the most deserving driver and team over the course of an entire season get the championship; if the current system is the best it could be is up for question but medals are not the way to go about it, I could not in all good faith support a system which made great drives like Jenson at Monza or the recovery drive by Lewis in Malaysia relatively worthless; if qually went wrong you might as well park up and save the engine cycles.
I like my NASCAR but we all know that the chase system barely works for them and the relative size of the grids and numbers of races make it impossible in F1; however I would support the adoption to F1 of extra points for leading laps or qually etc. How about extra constructors points to the team which has the fastest cumulative pit stops (both drivers times added, if one car retires before the pit then the team are ineligible for the extras) .
NASCAR gives 190 points for a win, does F1 need to look a maybe more points, going from 10 to 25 has meant there are 5 drivers with a chance, what if 50 was a win, or 100? Just a thought.
