rodders47 2 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 The almighty Bernie has stated that he would prefer the issuing of a "Gold Medal" for first place in a GP. His idea, floated past Max Mosely, is that at the end of the season the driver with the most "Gold Medals" wins the championship !! This idea, as I understand it from what I have read, is to promote "Overtaking" in a GP (Bernie's idea) my personal opinion of this is totally male animal excretia i.e. BS Next the winning driver will be awarded with a bunch of bloody flowers !!!!

HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 One time they did get flowers.... ....isn't this just the same thing as he who has most wins in a season is made champ? Sorry but i can't agree with a system that could potentially award a championship season that features say three or more winners, but one guy wins the championship by only finishing those races he wins...ie 6 wins out of 17 races / 11 retirements, with the remaining races being won by three or more other drivers, all of whom finish all races in the season and never out of top 4 or 5 places.

Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 Top three drivers would also be given a packet of salt biscuits along with a cup of tea during Post race press conference. Three cubes of sugar for the winner, two cubes for the second placed, and on for the thrid placed driver.It would be intersting how drivers react to Jasmine tea along with radio active milk biscuits served after the Chinese Grandprix.

F1 FANatic 1 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 oh oh, I know I know, why not make it so that you have to turn in your gold medals for upgrades to your car. Everybody starts out with a honda civic and as the season progresses you exchange your points until you have some form of hybrid monster car that's half civic half formula one car. Think of it, a civic with a formula one engine and big front and rear wings but those tiny civic wheels and all the cars need to be in that "grandparent gold" color with purple racing stripes and a giant rice rocket muffler. oh I could so be on Burnie's brain trust for ideas to advance the sport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
