I've always thought they should award points for (a) qualifying in pole position, (b) leading for the most laps in the race, ? gaining the most places from your grid position, (d) fastest race lap. There were probably a few more things I forgot about. It's a bit unfair to qualify on pole, lead for 90% of the race and have the fastest race lap but run out of gas on the final lap and you get nothing despite three great achievements. Also, someone who starts at the back and gains 10 places but just finishes out of the points deserves one too.

whats the over/under on whether the USAGP team earns a point next year???? 
When you take out holidays and weekends, it's about 70 actual working days left.
Anyone still thinking that USF1 will actually design, build, and test a car, hire drivers, and organize a team in that little time?
I dont think so. Oh and dont forget crash testing as well. Unfortunately, it doesnt look good.

Get your F1 fix right here,.....they often have some great old races, (mostly 80s 90s on F1 legends) they may also help to refresh some memories so we don't have the nonsense revisionist history that dominated large chunks of the 2009 thread.
