2004 Jenson Button 329 (10 wins, 3 2nds, 1 3rd) Fernando Alonso 239 (4 wins, 4 2nds, 3 3rds) Jarno Trulli 210 (2 wins, 5 2nds, 2 3rds) - 192 for Renault, 18 for Toyota Giancarlo Fisichella 192 (3 2nds, 7 4ths) (!!!!) Takuma Sato 169 ( 1 win , 3 2nds, 4 3rds) Felipe Massa 137 (1 win, 2 3rds) Mark We...

James1978

As I said, I'm probably rushing through these now: 2003 Kimi Raikkonen 304 (10 wins, 3 2nds) Fernando Alonso 214 (4 wins, 4 2nds, 2 3rds) Jarno Trulli 166 (1 win, 3 2nds, 3 3rds) Mark Webber 137 (2 2nds, 5 3rds) Jenson Button 130 (2 2nds, 2 3rds) Cristiano da Matta 127 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Nick Heidfeld 1...

James1978

I like it! Incidentally, by the time you've done another 50 of these (!) and got up to 2001, we'll probably know who the 2010 champ is, so you probably won't have to "re-write" any should Webber or Vettel win this year. I'm thinking Rubens should grab a fair few in his Ferrari years, and m...

James1978

I feel like a lot of people are getting a bit sick of these alternative championships by now, so I'll try and get these last few years rushed through asap! 2002 Juan Pablo Montoya 285 (9 wins, 3 2nds) Nick Heidfeld 171 (2 2nds, 3 3rds, plus lots of 4ths and 5ths! ) Jenson Button 164 (1 win, 4 2nds, ...

James1978

Another one: remove EVERY champion at the same time, before they even win one title. Don;t get me started on that - I take it you mean just remove all real-time champions from all the results, and see who wins the WDC out of who we're left with? That means Rene Arnoux would be 1983 WDC as he'd only...

James1978

That's quite funny actually (I agree there maybe should be a separate forum for ones like the one I'm currently doing so people can avoid them who don't want to read them)!!

James1978

They're not in that category listed above, but two more "You Lucky Bastards" could be Monteiro and Karthikeyan as there's no way they'd have got their 3rd and 4th places respectively at Indy '05 without Michelin messing up its tyre!!

James1978

I'm going to say Glock 1st, really enjoyed seeing a Virgin refusing to yield to all the midfielders he was keeping behind, not to mention a Ferrari!

I'll say Rubens 2nd.

James1978

2001 Ralf Schumacher 222 (6 wins, 4 2nds) Nick Heidfeld 174 (2 wins, 2 2nds, 4 3rds) Kimi Raikkonen 152 (1 win, 3 2nds, 1 3rd) Juan Pablo Montoya 137 (5 wins) Olivier Panis 135 (2 2nds, 1 3rd) Jarno Trulli 125 (1 win, 3 2nds, 2 3rds) Jos Verstappen 122 (2 2nds, 2 3rds) Giancarlo Fisichella 110 (1 w...

James1978

Liuzzi's a lot higher than I expected him to be, even though he's still behind Sutil!

James1978

And one more for tonight: 2000 Rubens Barrichello 325 (13 wins) Ralf Schumacher 173 (3 wins, 4 2nds, 1 3rd) Mika Salo 158 (1 2nd, 6 3rds) (!!!!) Giancarlo Fisichella 154 (1 win, 3 2nds, 1 3rd) Jenson Button 138 (5 2nds, 3 4ths) Alex Wurz 119 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Ricardo Zonta 107 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Jarno Trul...

James1978

Two years in one go as I'd done two versions of 1999, one if Coulthard was the 1998 champ, and one if Irvine was, due to me being unsure of the Spa 98 result! This one is the official one now: 1999 Eddie Irvine 323 (10 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Ralf Schumacher 213 (2 wins, 6 2nds, 3 3rds) Rubens Barriche...

James1978

I found the rule I needed when I looked through the regulations, it's rule 45.2: "Cars having covered less than 90% of the number of laps covered by the winner ( rounded down to the nearest whole number of laps ) will not be classified". I trust the rule was the same in 1998, so DC's class...

James1978

I thought the Hamilton/Webber thing was 50:50 - one of them needed to have backed off and conceded position to avoid the contact, and neither did, but you're not going to win the championship by conceding the position. For me the ROTR has to be Schumacher (again) - seriously why is he bothering? He ...

James1978

Actually, I don't think it does come to think of it, the only thing is it would put Boutsen further behind Berger in 1988. Anyway I've done the next one. 1997 Heinz-Harald Frentzen 227 (4 wins, 4 2nds, 3 3rds) Giancarlo Fisichella 186 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 4 3rds) David Coulthard 182 (4 wins, 2 2nds) Eddi...

James1978

I'm not sure if maybe you've already mentioned this and I didn't read it correctly, but do all results count in this, or do you stick to the result-discounting rules in the seasons where they applied in reality? I'm doing it as all scores to count, becuase I wanted to make the points-scoring system...

James1978

I've done the next one now anyway: 1996 Jacques Villeneuve 295 (11 wins) Rubens Barrichello 137 (4 2nds, 3 3rds) Olivier Panis 133 (1 win, 2 2nds, 2 3rds) David Coulthard 131 (5 2nds, 1 3rd) Martin Brundle 123 (2 wins, 1 3rd) Mika Salo 104 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) Eddie Irvine 101 (1 win, 2 2nds, 2 3rd...

James1978

Let me get this right-Diniz finishes ahead of Katayama and Martini?!?!?!?! Martini only did half the season before being replaced by Lamy so that was a disadvantage to him (Martini and Lamy's combined total is well ahead of Badoer in the other car). Katayama only finished four races the whole year!...

James1978

One for tonight before I get drunk! 1995 Johnny Herbert 259 (6 wins, 3 2nds, 3 3rds) David Coulthard 218 (8 wins, 1 2nd) Heinz-Harald Frentzen 171 (5 2nds, 3 3rds) Olivier Panis 152 (1 win, 5 3rds) Mark Blundell 129 (2 2nds, 3 3rds) Eddie Irvine 108 (3 2nds, 2 4ths) Rubens Barrichello 99 (1 win, 1 2...

James1978

1994 You're both dead right - but it's the lowest winning total so far! Mika Hakkinen 153 (4 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Rubens Barrichello 138 (2 wins, 3 2nds, 2 3rds) Olivier Panis 119 (1 win, 1 3rd) Martin Brundle 105 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) Heinz-Harald Frentzen 105 (1 win, 1 2nd, 2 3rds) David Coultha...

James1978

What I will add before I continue is that the knock-on effect of Piquet winning 1981 instead of Laffite under this sytem but conventional points has now completely played itself out - Piquet's 1986 championship is taken by Mansell, and Boutsen winning 1990 instead of Mansell, and by 1994 Boutsen had...

James1978

1993 Damon Hill 272 (10 wins, 1 2nd) Martin Brundle 164 (1 win, 4 2nds, 4 3rds) Mark Blundell 138 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 2 3rds) Christian Fittipaldi 111 (2 2nds, 1 3rds) Johnny Herbert 107 (1 win, 3 2nds) JJ Lehto 87 (1 2nd, 1 3rd) Michael Andretti 81 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd, 1 4th, 1 5th) Derek Warwick 78 ...

James1978

Totally forgot about this alternative championship with the one I'm currently doing (indeed I'm now further on than you ), but this one should look a lot different to mine and Bleu's with that 1990 result. 1991 should be Patrese's, and I'm predicting Alesi will win in 1994 - that year could be anyon...

James1978

1992 Michael Schumacher 276 (9 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Martin Brundle 240 (6 wins, 5 2nds) Mika Hakkinen 136 (1 win, 2 2nds, 3 3rds) Andrea De Cesaris 101 (2 2nds, 2 3rds) Erik Comas 95 (3 3rds, 2 4ths) JJ Lehto 94 (3 4ths, 2 5ths) Aguri Suzuki 85 (1 3rd, 1 4th) Pierluigi Martini 79 (2 2nds) Ivan Cape...

James1978

Next one - we now have no less than EIGHT drivers still active but removed from results (Senna, Mansell, Prost, Piquet, Berger, Patrese, Boutsen and Alboreto - though the latter two were no longer in competitive cars by 1991, with top 10 scoring it still affects lower points-paying positions). 1991 ...

James1978

Just realised I did a couple of typos on 1989 results - Grouillard got 41 points which I'd missed off his total, and Capelli's 6 points were actually 1 8th and 1 9th - not that it helps him! Done the next one too: 1990 Thierry Boutsen 205 (4 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Alessandro Nannini 185 (6 wins, 1 2nd...

James1978

Personally I preferred it when the reject podium was all drivers, so unless things change significantly in the last 5 races, I'll say:

Bronze: Di Grassi (who?)

Silver: Liuzzi
Gold: Schumacher

James1978

One more for today! 1989 Riccardo Patrese 187 (4 wins, 4 2nds, 1 3rd) Thierry Boutsen 174 (5 wins, 1 3rd) Alessandro Nannini 169 (3 wins, 4 2nds) Derek Warwick 99 (1 2nd, 3 3rds) Eddie Cheever 84 (2 2nds) Jean Alesi 74 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) Martin Brundle 69 (1 3rd, 2 4ths) Pierluigi Martini 67 (1 2...

James1978

I can't wait till you get to the 80s for this. I'm just reading this at the moment and thinking "Who?"!! (Kind of a reason why I started my alternative championship in the 70s and only started posting the results from 1981 as it produced a different champion than the other similar Alternat...

James1978

I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that the Wikipedia page for HWNSNBM mentions this site!

James1978

1988 This one is what you call close!!! Gerhard Berger 227 (6 wins, 3 2nds, 1 3rd) Thierry Boutsen 226 (5 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Derek Warwick 149 (4 2nds, 3 3rds) Ivan Capelli 127 (2 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Alessandro Nannini 114 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 2 3rds) Riccardo Patrese 98 (1 win, 1 2nd) Eddie Cheever ...

James1978

I REALLY want Kobayashi to knock out Vettel. I'd like to see Massa beat Rubens so it's Ferrari v Ferrari QF.
Rosberg and Kubica for the other two.

James1978

Just goes to show how important finishing is in this thing - Fabre actually managed 6 points finishes, De Cesaris only one in Belgium!

Also lots of drivers in fast but fairly unreliable cars quite far down, such as Patrese and Warwick!

James1978

1987 Ayrton Senna 254 (7 wins, 3 2nds, 1 3rd) Stefan Johansson 194 (4 wins, 1 2nd, 2 3rds) Gerhard Berger 147 (3 wins, 4 2nds) Teo Fabi 106 (1 win, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Thierry Boutsen 106 (3 2nds, 2 3rds) Jonathan Palmer 106 (2 3rds) Satoru Nakajima 89 (1 2nd, 3 4ths) Eddie Cheever 84 (2 3rds) Philippe ...

James1978

1985 Michele Alboreto 197 (5 wins, 4 2nds) Stefan Johansson 162 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 2 3rds) - includes 10pts when he drove for Tyrrell in Brazil before moving to Ferrari! Ayrton Senna 157 (5 wins, 1 2nd) Nigel Mansell 151 (2 wins, 1 2nd, 3 3rds) Thierry Boutsen 129 (1 win, 2 3rds) Jacques Laffite 101 (...

James1978

One more for tonight, it's 1984 Elio De Angelis 200.5 (3 wins, 3 2nds, 3 3rds*) (what a totally cool points total!) Rene Arnoux 169 (2 wins, 3 2nds*, 2 3rds) Michele Alboreto 138 (4 wins, 1 2nd) Derek Warwick 112 (3 wins, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) Patrick Tambay 95 (1 win, 2 3rds) Ayrton Senna 89.5 (2 wins*, 1 ...

James1978

Also forgot to add - not only unrejectification but a PODIUM in Monaco for Danny Sullivan!

James1978

Next one! 1983 Alain Prost 213 (6 wins, 1 2nd) Rene Arnoux 183 (4 wins, 2 2nds, 1 3rd) Patrick Tambay 160 (1 win, 5 2nds, 3 3rds) John Watson 104 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) - not bad for a non-turbo that year! Eddie Cheever 98 (3 2nds, 2 3rds) Jacques Laffite 97 (1 win, 2 3rds) Derek Warwick 69 (1 3rd, 2...

James1978

To continue: 1982 Note: Lauda makes his comeback but he too is ineligible as he was champion in 1975. Keke Rosberg 172 (2 wins, 3 2nds, 2 3rds) John Watson 151 (2 wins, 3 2nds, 1 3rd) Didier Pironi 135 (3 wins, 1 2nd, 2 3rds) Michele Alboreto 133 (1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd) Alain Prost 120 (2 wins, 2 2nds...
