Of course, if NASCAR used the same points system, the numbers would still be different than what you write. Formula 1 awards points to the top 40% of the drivers in each race. That works out to be 8 drivers. Basically, you must finish a little better than in the top half of the field in order to obtain points. Using the same scoring system, NASCAR would award points to all drivers finishing 17th or better. Personally, I would rather see them allow points for those who finish lower, and award consistency. Regardless of which side you fall on, the Formula 1 points system does not fall out the way described in the article.
