Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri's controversial first-corner incident at Saudi Arabian GP reviewed by Martin Brundle

Sky Sports F1s Martin Brundle reviews the controversial first-corner incident at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix that ultimately enabled Oscar Piastri to beat Max Verstappen to victory in Jeddah; Lando Norris recovery drive and Lewis Hamiltons struggles also analysed

"The driving guidelines the stewards work to have been refined this year and a driver who 'wins' a corner by being sufficiently alongside is no longer obliged to leave racing room on the outside.

It's up to the other driver to yield and fall into line. This was to stop the driver on the outside simply releasing the brakes, or even accelerating, running wide and claiming they were ahead and hadn't been left suitable space, thereby easily trapping the driver on the inside into a penalty. Which is what Max tried on Sunday evening."

Someone with loads of time on their hands needs to work out how many points the likes of Senna, Prost and Schumacher would have scored under the current system.

lol I just did that.

Hamilton is still number one since he spent the longest at top tier teams. Second is Schumacher at 4,600 points, Senna came in at around 2,200 down the list, Alonso is 3rd I think. Fangio was in the top 10!
 
Mr V's Garage did an entire video on ranking seasons based on every points system.

and if I remember correctly Fangio was still the GOAT.
 
Still pointless as there are much more races these days on the calendar than in the past. Even sprint races and fastest lap points.

How did you do it?

I found this points simulator built for F1 - https://www.formula1points.com/simulator/points-simulator/1980

  • Points: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1
  • 1 pt for the fastest lap but only if the driver is inside the top-10

Prost: 1980-1991, 1993
2509.5 points (5th all-time)
He also wins a 5th World Championship by beating Lauda to the 1984 title by 2.5 points.

Senna: 1984-1994
1874 points (7th all-time)

Schumacher: 1991-2006, 2010-2012
3961 points (2nd all-time, behind only Hamilton)
He potentially loses the 1994 title to Hill as the current points systems would have meant Hill wins the championship by finishing behind Schumacher in Adelaide, so there is a chance Hill doesn't even try and overtake for the win and isn't shunted out of the race by Michael. Schumacher does still try and crash into Villeneuve in 1997 though as finishing behind Villeneuve in that race would see him lose the championship by 1 point.

Without a point for FL;

Prost has 2470.5 points (5th all-time in points, up from 17th). Here is the thing though, if you used both the current points system and the current championship system, Prost is potentially the greatest of all-time, surpassing Fangio and becoming a 7-time world champion. He wins 4 in a row from 1983-1986, back-to-back in 1988 and 1989 and then his final one in 1993. In this stretch, Piquet ('83), Lauda ('84) and Senna ('89) all lose a WDC to him. In '83 he would have finished level on points with Piquet, winning the championship on wins count back (4 to 3).

Senna has 1859.5 points (8th all-time, up from 20th).

Schumacher has 3890 points (2nd all-time in points, up from 9th). The 'What-If' scenarios here are he loses the '94 title to Hill who still doesn't need to take a risk at Adelaide (16-point lead heading into the final race means Hill just needed to finish inside the top-4 to secure the title), but he beats Villeneuve in 1997 because he would've only needed to have finished 7th or higher in the final race to win the championship (22-point lead heading into Jerez).

Still doesn't account for the higher number of races these days. Which leaves us with points per race, using a standardised points system across eras...

A 27 year old only reaching his prime now, already in the mix for GOAT at this stage seems to predict not if he will be considered the GOAT but when.
