<description><![CDATA[One of the fun things I like to do during the F1 season is to take part in an online game called Fantasy Racers, which is a sort of prediction game based on the form of F1 drivers throughout the season.  It's great fun and very interesting, which is why I also like to analyse the scores after each race on my blog (if you would like to read these posts, please click here).<br/><br/>9 Vote(s) ]]></description>

As promised, this is the second part of the post that aims to look at how ‘fair' a points system is.<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Recently, the Sporting Working Group met in Paris and decided to vote through some proposals that would hopefully improve the racing this year.  The most important of these was a radical change to the points system, which would drastically increase the amount of points for a win and award points down to tenth place, in order to help the new teams score some points this year.<br/><br/>10 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So after analysing finishing positions (Driver Classification), Qualifying Performance, Fastest Laps and Driver Consistency, it's now time to put it all together and come up with some sort of ranking system.  Except that this will be just for fun and does not take into account the relative car performance, any changes in strategy, size of the paycheck or claim to be a definitive ranking system ;)<br/><br/>20 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Now, this blog is primarily a statistics blog about F1, but sometimes I see stuff that is slightly off-topic and yet I feel I have to write about it and offer an opinion or two.<br /><br />Today is such a day.<br /><br />To much fanfare, AUTOSPORT have launched a new service called the ‘Castrol Driver Rankings',  which are apparently the definitive method of measuring who is the number one driver by using weighted rankings over some 47 series.<br /><br />It sounds like a horrendously complicated system, but the way it seems to work is that various aspects of a driver's performance in the races they participates in are scored and then a weighting is applied according to how prestigious the series is.  <br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>
