So Bernie is trying to do away with the points system in favour of a medal system - gold, silver and bronze.

Whoever wins the most golds will win the championship.

What a load of bollocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't see the rational in his thinking. He believes it will encourage more overtaking, because the only way to win the championship is to collect the most golds.

I believe that race drivers at this level are so competitive, they will still want to win if it means 10 points or 1 gold medal. In theory you could have a driver win 2 races and then dnf the rest of the season win the championship if the next best reasult was 1 win and 9 seconds !!!!!

Maybe just change the point system and make the separation of points between 1st and 2nd larger.
