I said it before and I will say it again: 10-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. Still 8/12 difference in getting points, win gets a 3-pt advantage. If you haven't won a race yet, every single point gained would be worth it to position yourself. No major change, just puts more emphasis on wins.

As strange as this may sound, if we need to really massage the system we could go to decimal points. Fact is, I love how quickly I can compute the many scenarios late in the season for who needs to do what. We are a base-10 society and increments of 10 or less come naturally. I don't get that from most racing series, NASCAR in particular. I just go by what the announcers tell me, because I just can't be bothered to perform such odd calculations.

so we could concievably go to, say, 10, 7, 5, 3.5, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1. Keep in mind it's not unprecedented in F1, drivers have gotten half-points for unusual races.

Good idea i must admit it had crossed my mind before. I mean I like to see 10 points for a win, its the F1 way(though 12 could work). But I said 25 for a win for that sheer amount of points that can be won. But decimals would work aswell, like 12-8-5-4-3-2.5-2-1.5-1-0.5 for top 10 finishers, since the reliability these days is better than ever like jso said. though 10-7-5-3.5-2.5-2-1.5-1 would also work. 12-8-5-3.5-2.5-1.5-1-0.5 would also be good.
