Bernie's medals alternative championships

[tommykl]

So, basically, i'm going to show what would have happened had the medals system been implemented for every championship.
Basis: the driver with the most wins takes it all, then with the most 2nd places, then 3rd places. In the event of another tie, points scored will be used as a tiebreaker, followed by further countback.

1950
1. Nino Farina (3 wins)
2. Juan Manuel Fangio (3 wins)
3. Johnnie Parsons (1 win)
4. Luigi Fagioli (4 2nds, 1 3rd)
5. Alberto Ascari (2 2nds*)
6. Bill Holland (1 2nd)
7. Dorino Serafini (1 2nd*)
8. Louis Rosier (2 3rds)
9. Peter Whitehead (1 3rd)
10. Louis Chiron (1 3rd)
11. Reg Parnell (1 3rd)
12. Mauri Rose (1 3rd)

Tiebreakers
1st-2nd: Points (Farina: 30 - Fangio: 27)
6th-7th: Points (Holland: 6 - Serafini: 3)
9th-12th: Countback (Whitehead: 1 7th - Chiron: 1 9th - Parnell: 1 Ret - Rose: nothing)

Notes
The number of (*)s denotes amount of shared drives for each position.

Discuss.

Wouldn't Nelson Piquet have lost all of his championships? 1982 would have to be the most interesting for this system.

It doesn't really seem to be changing anything significant.

I guess that without extraordinary seasons the system doesn't really make a difference.

I just noticed, thanks.
I guess what's more interesting might be the battle behind the champion, or I could continue Bleu's idea with this system, maybe.

I´ve been watching every championship from 1985 to 2009 and there´re only a couple of them which would have been different.
