Gold, Silver and Bronze and the winner of the championship will be the one with the most wins.....if it had been like that this year Massa would of won.
Stupid idea imo

Massa should have won it though so would have been a good thing!
They need to revert back to the old points scheme.
10
6
4
2
1
Otherwise no real advantage winning the race over finishing 2nd

i dont see it as a bad idea tbh, the best drive = driver who wins most races imo therefor should win.
maybe not the medals but i do think it should go on the amount of race wins.

No he shouldn't? Points at the end of the year made Lewis the winner.
Everything else is irrelivant. The final points defines the winner.
Who had the most points?

Its not always down to the driver to win the race though, its the team aswell etc and decisions made before, during, and after the race. F1 is not just won on the track

Why?
So, my names Schumacher. I win all the first bunch of races...
Championship over.....
What about the middle teams? They fight not to be last, its a competition, if its only defined by who wins a race, what about the rest of the grid/championship?
Its a silly idea, it wont go forwards, its just another example of that short white haired troll loosing his grip (and his mind) of F1.
Its a CHAMPIONSHIP, not an individual race. The winner of the championship is the person who has the most points at the end of x amount of races.
So I win 6 races out of 10, but I crash/blow up in the next 4 races.
Meanwhile, MrX comes 2nd in all 10 races. He won't win becuase he has no wins, yet he's the most consistant and should win the championship
Its an extremly silly idea. This is the peak of car motor racing, not a childs sports day.

The medal thing has been mentioned before and is a hideous idea!
Its not the olympics, but there needs to be more advantage for the winner otherwise why try get first when can settle for second and only loose 2 points!
MotoGP points would work better than currently and still give lower teams chance to score

Aye, WSB and MotoGP use the same points scheme, 1st 25, 2nd 20, 3rd 16, 4th 13, 5th 10, 7th 9 etc....

i dont think they should get rid of the constructors thing (for the team).
but as for the drivers i really dont see the difference between the current method of points and who wins the most races. just fewer people come out with points/medals which in turn should make drivers/teams work harder.
its not the like sports days at school where everyone gets something for just taking part.

See it doesn't work like that.
Someone who is consistant will be right there opposed to someone who wins a few races, but doesn't finish a lot of others.
Kubica was a good example of this in 08, but a few final poor results screwed him up. He was right with Hamilton and Massa, who both won more races (lots more) but he was there with them.
Hamilton won less races than Massa, but overal was more consistant throughout the season (some will argue luck), but at the end of the day, points prove prizes, and after 18 races, Hamilton had 1 more point, he's had the best overall results from the season, so wins.

Look at this season for an example.
Lewis 1st
Massa 2nd
Raikkonnen / Kubica 3rd
Alonso 4th
With the medal system - that would become:
Massa
Lewis
Alonso
Raikkonnen
Kubica
Some drivers drive with their balls and bring home either a win or a DNF.
Other drivers drive with their brain and bring in 2nd -> 6ths
At the end - both 'types' of drivers can be in contention for the title. With the medal system, consistent 'brain' drivers will go home with fuck all.
Terrible Idea
