It could be really interesting to know what the old 6 points position scheme might have made different.

Driver's championship on the 1991-2002 10-6-4-3-2-1 looks like this.

I can't find a way on that website to convert the constructors points, but I'm sure there is one. In the meantime adding the above results myself:

McLaren 175
Ferrari 166
Red Bull 161
Mercedes 102
Alpine 12
Aston Martin 6
Haas 2
Williams, RB, Sauber 0

When converting to 90s points the website only goes on main race results and doesn't include the sprints.

I'm also unsure how it's calculating the order of the drivers with 0 points as it puts Bottas ahead of Albon.

According to Nico Rosberg, Perez is looking for a payout of 16 million. Both RBR and Perez look like idiots.

Apparently this is if RBR doesn't want to keep him on in some capacity for next year, and I'm half expecting they're going to consider sticking him in the cryosleep chamber (aka simulator) to have him on hand when Lawson and/or his sponsor package inevitably fails to meet their impossible criteria.

The similarities between Abu Dhabi '24 and Brazil '12

Edit: and in both races the world champion who spun on lap one finished sixth.
