BIG NEWS....Rule change just been anounced regarding the points system for this year!!

The F1 2009 champion will be the driver with the most wins, and in the event of a tie, it will be awarded to the driver with the most points.

This will completely change the nature of the racing. As a long time Formula 1 fan, I am quite shocked with this rule change.

These latest round of changes are pretty pointless. It's tinkering for the sake of tinkering...

I totally disagree.

Now it is all about winning, not collecting points. This will completely change qualifying and race strategies for all of the teams.

And after thinking about it over night, I am no longer shocked. These changes are good for R?ikk?nen.
