Regardless Of The Championship Format, Can We Fix The Points Per Position (Almirola 5th In Points Over #2, 9)

I would just bring back bonus points for wins and laps lead.

I liked the 43 point system where the winner got

43+3 for winning+1 for leading a lap+1 for leading the most laps for a total of 48.

Everyone else got 1 point less per position but still got lap led bonus points.

I like one point per position for its linearity so theoretically it should provide a better indication of average finish.

But you have to understand, the only reason Almirola finishes ahead of Kes or Chase is because he had a better run in the playoffs. Take the average finish of just playoff races and I’m certain Almirola will be higher or it’ll at least be very close thanks to stage points being a factor.

I think going back to 40+3+1+1 for a win would be fair. Everyone else also would get laps led points.
