The F1 Seasons- A1GP points system

[Jeroen Krautmeir]

This one will be using the A1GP Feature Race system (10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) I'll post only the top 5 drivers/constructors. Number in bracket is the position they placed using the system at the time.

Jim Clark losing out to Graham Hill in 1965 is really something of a shocker, he was all-conquering for most of the season.

Jim Clark losing out to Graham Hill in 1965 is really something of a shocker, he was all-conquering for most of the season.

I wonder what that tells us about the A1GP points system. Obviously, looking at it, it doesn't reward wins enough, but bear in mind that in A1GP they also had a sprint race with the old (1991-2002) F1 points system. That might have changed a few things.

Jim Clark losing out to Graham Hill shows that this season rewards reliability and consistency above wins (i.e. actual racing instinct!)
