2011 - under 2009 points

[raymondu999]

Thought I'd give this another year Given Vettel's recent run of form I'm comparing the post-Malaysia standings with Button's year.

After Australia
------------------
Vettel - 10
Hamilton - 8
Petrov - 6
Alonso - 5
Webber - 4
Button - 3
Massa - 2
Buemi - 1

After Malaysia
------------------
Vettel - 20
Button - 11
Hamilton - 9
Webber - 9
Alonso - 8
Petrov - 6
Heidfeld - 6
Massa - 6
Kobayashi - 2
Buemi - 1

After Malaysia, all positions are still identical with the old points, except Massa is on 16pts to Heidfeld/Petrov's 15 each

Button after Malaysia 2009, HAD MALAYSIA YIELDED FULL POINTS
---------------
Button - 20
Barrichello - 12
Trulli - 11
Glock - 11
Heidfeld - 8
Alonso - 4
Rosberg - 4
Webber - 3
Hamilton - 2
Buemi - 2
Bourdais - 1

Is it worth including MrE's medals?

[raymondu999]

That would be pointless given that Vettel has an unchallenged 2-nil against everyone. lol

The medal system works then!

After Shanghai
------------------

Button - 16
Webber - 15
Alonso - 10

Heidfeld - 6
Rosberg - 4
Kobayashi - 2

Turkish update
--------------------
Vettel - 38
Hamilton - 24
Webber - 23
Button - 19
Alonso - 16
Massa - 9
Heidfeld - 8
Rosberg - 8
Petrov - 7
Kobayashi - 2
Buemi - 1
Schumacher - 1

In the new points system, Petrov would be between Massa and Heidfeld, with Rosberg-Heidfeld still in the same standing positions.
