Jules Bianchi car number alt. championship

Post by dr-baker »

Renamed in honour of Jules Bianchi, who was the first driver to have a permanent car number retired by the FIA.

So the concept of this alternative championship is this: the less good the team, the more impressive each point that they score is. So each point that Minardi scores is worth more to Minardi than the same number of points is to Ferrari. How to reward this? Well, since 1996, car numbers have been allocated based on the previous year's Constructors' Championship. So multiply the points by the allocated car number and you may get a more representative points total based on how hard they were to score. Or maybe not. Let's see.

From 1950 to 1973, car numbers changed from race to race, so I calculated the tables race-by-race, which led to an odd result in 1958, where the championship winner only entered one race, with a 2nd place, and a car number in the hundreds (as was possible at the time). 1974 to 1995 saw the Driver's Champion take the number 1 to whichever team he drove for the following year, with that team's numbers going to the previous team to run 1 and 2. 1996 to 2013 saw car numbers reflect the performance of each team from the previous season. The current system (from 2014 onwards) sees drivers enter with career-long car numbers.

1996

The first year to be calculated, as it was the first year to have car numbers based on performance in the previous year's championship, meaning smaller teams get a larger car number. The larger the car number, the larger the points multiplier! (Hence why Ferrari do well in the 1980s and early 1990s...)

1997 almost but not quite complete (will post tomorrow) but one intersting thing to note:

Original results: 2 drivers tie for 3rd, 2 tie for 5th in the overall championship
Altered results: 2 drivers tie for 3rd, 2 tie for 5th in the overall championship, but obviously, different drivers in each case...

Should I eventually do this from 1950 to 1995 after I finish the medals (if it gets enough votes, of course)?

There's no point in doing this before 1996 because of the different car numbering system before that point.

If you can work out what teams would have had what numbers in the 80s and early/mid 90s, should be good i think!

Plus, it means Ferrari will pretty much dominate the 80's and 90's unopposed.

Maybe, but then, Alboreto and maybe Johansson would be champions. Also, Ligier.

Go ahead. I like that idea. By the way, how will you work out which cars deserve which numbers in 1950? The 1950 championship positions will naturally carry forward to 1951's car numbers. An estimation from some selected 1949 races perhaps?

Indeed. But because they did score, they were ahead of Minardi, yet to score in this alternative universe, because they did not score in our real universe. :cry: But looking forward to when they do eventually score!

Anyway,:

Frentzen really looses out under this. And under this points system, Schumi would have had no need to take anybody out in Jerez as he would have won the championship anyway (DNF'ed and in the gravel trap). Biggest gainers seem to be Fisichella and Herbert.

Code: Select all

1st   McLaren   360 + 243       603   4th
2nd   Ferrari   390 + 144       534   2nd
3rd   Benetton  252 + 216 + 32  500   3rd
4th   Williams  243 + 168       411   1st
5th   Jordan    240 + 143       383   5th
6th   Prost     224 + 42 + 30   296   6th
7th   Sauber    240 +  17       257   7th
8th   Stewart   132             132   9th
9th   Tyrrell   38              38    10th
10th  Arrows    7 + 4           11    8th

McLaren are the significant gainers at Williams' expense. Otherwise Arrows merely loose out to Stewart and Tyrrell.

Go ahead. I like that idea. By the way, how will you work out which cars deserve which numbers in 1950? The 1950 championship positions will naturally carry forward to 1951's car numbers. An estimation from some selected 1949 races perhaps?

I already explained that befoer 1974, numbers were awarded by order of entry, with usually the best entering early. Coincidentally, the German, Italian, French and Monaco GP all used different nubering systems, so it will reward points scorers in these GPs. The goal of this Championship is to get different winners every year, not to be fair. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Gilles Villeneuve would probably in this one!

Predictions for champions from 1998 to date:

1998 Hakkinen
1999 Frentzen
2000 Villeneuve (car 22 remember)
2001 Heidfeld maybe?
2002 Button?
2003 Alonso?
2004 Button
2005 Ralf Schumacher (car 17!!)
2006 Button
2007 Heidfeld
2008 Hamilton
2009 Button
2010 Alonso (his total will be over 2000 as long as he comes 8th or better today......) :)

Button and Heidfeld seem to do very well out of this! :)

In 1999 Barrichello will take it, being in car #16..

Good alternative championship. But wouldn't it be more reliable if you took the constructors championship results and then re-assigned the numbers for that year. Then the relative car strength / driver ability would be more reliable and interesting, and actually useful.

That's in the planning. I'll do this version first and either I or somebody else can do the relative reallocation...

Mika Hakkinen has a massive winning advantage here, scoring more than twice as many points as his teammate in second. Williams have a disaster while R. Schuamcher and Jean Alesi are the biggest gainers of positions. Johnny Herbert has a shocker compared to his teammate, costing Sauber a position in the Constructor's. Also a bit of a Noah's Ark effect in the Drivers' Championship, as this type of championship might have been considered to produce, if each driver in each team is reasonably evenly matched. The Arrows, Williams, McLaren, Ferrari, Jordan and Benetton drivers are all next to each other here. Didn't happen so dramatically in '96 or '97. Will it happen again?

Code: Select all

1st   McLaren   800 + 392  1192
2nd   Ferrari   258 + 188  446

Re: Car numbers alternative championship

Before I move onto 1999, I am imagining that this system will hinder Mika for 1999, and Michael Schumacher from 2001 to 2005, while they carry the real-life no. 1. After I complete this, it would be facinating to reallocate the numbers based on this alternative Constructors positions. Although that might allow Michael to regain some of his lost championships that he will loose from 2001 onwards... Maybe.

Actually, the idea IS to be fair - fair to those less able to score points consistantly by rewarding them fairer. At least, with my system, hense why I began in 1996.

18th      Pedro de la Rosa       Arrows    14          1             14             17th=

We finally get one team gain significantly from this - Stewart! Although Frentzen gets the Driver's title (has he won any in any other alternatives?). And the two McLarens really loose out here. This season has provided the biggest and most significant changes so far, I think.

Code: Select all

1st   Stewart   336 + 255       591
2nd   Jordan    432 + 49        481
3rd   Ferrari   296 + 132 + 30  458
4th   Williams  210             210
5th   McLaren   96 + 76         172
6th   Prost     133 + 36        169
7th   Benetton  117 + 30        147
8th   Sauber    36 + 22         58
9th   Minardi   21              21
10th  Arrows   14               14


Thought 2010 was the first time Red Bull had won the constructors' title? They already had done so in this version of reality (in their former guise of Stewart)! And Minardi beat Arrows!

As you will see below as well, 3/3 so far... I wasn't sure Villeneuve was going to have scored enough points for the car number multiplier to be sufficient, but it was. Just one or two points finishes less (out of 7 total) and he would have failed...

Benetton wrote:In 1999 Barrichello will take it, being in car #16..

Barrichello in 1999? Almost, but Frentzen's car number was exactly half that of Rubens, but had scored more than twice as many real points so retains the position ahead.

Anyway, onto the 21st century!

Jacques Villeneuve scores the championship he didn't win in 1997, thanks to BAR being so rubbish in their debut season! And he wins this title with no podiums whatsoever! And DC looses out thanks to his lowly car number.

Code: Select all

1st   Ferrari   324 + 248     572

8th   Jordan    55 + 36       91
9th   Jaguar    28            28


Ferrari win this, thanks to a better, significantly better-scoring no. 2 driver! And Sauber could have overtaken Arrows if only Pedro Diniz could have scored points just once or twice...

I'll try to find a system based on that year's championship, but I'll have to use an entrants' championship instead of a contructors' championship. I was thinking of looking at the maximum number of entrants the team had that year in a single race, and award numbers based on that. Example: in 1950, let's say Alfa Romeo (who finished first) entered between 2 and 5 cars. Their cars will wear numbers 1-5, with the higher numbers not used if there aren't enough cars.
Let's say, in the same year, that the factory Maserati team finished 2nd in the entrants' championship, entering between 1 and 4 cars every race, they will be awarded numbers 6-9...

That'll be the next thing I start then. The "Disqualify every driver from their home GP" thing will start at the end of the mediocrity awards.

That'll suit the Finns and Rubens! And the Indy 500 should pretty much automatically delete itself from that shouldn't it?

Forgot to mention that for the 2000 Constructors' Championship, the McLaren team were docked 10 points for Hakkinen's win due to a missing seal from the black box. So I deducted 10 x 1 = 10 points. So McLaren were fortunate to only finish 3 points ahead of Benetton.

It probably will. About the Indy 500, I think the only driver to ever be eligible when it was an F1 race was Ascari in 1952, who retired...

2001 Heidfeld maybe?
2002 Button?

Third places in both cases! Once I had compiled the car numbers alongside the points, these two both looked likely, but ended up not being enough. Will post these two years as seperate posts.

2001

Code: Select all

position  Driver                Team      car number  points total  revised total  original position
1st       David Coulthard       McLaren   4           65            260            2nd
2nd       Ralf Schumacher       Williams  5           49            245            4th
3rd       Nick Heidfeld         Sauber    16          12            192            7th=
4th       Juan-Pablo Montoya    Williams  6           31            186            6th
5th       Kimi Raikkonen        Sauber    17          9             153            10th
6th       Jarno Trulli          Jordan    12          12            144            7th=
7th       Michael Schumacher    Ferrari   1           123           123            1st
8th       Jacques Villeneuve    BAR       10          12            120            7th=
9th       Rubens Barrichello    Ferrari   2           56            112            3rd
10th      Mika Hakkinen         McLaren   3           37            111            5th

Code: Select all

11th      Eddie Irvine          Jaguar    18          6             108            12th=
12th      Jean Alesi                                  5             90 (66 + 24)   14th=
                                (Prost    22          3             66)   
                                (Jordan   12          2             24)   
13th      Heinz-Harald Frentzen Jordan    11          6             66             12th=
14th      Pedro de la Rosa      Jaguar    19          3             57             16th
15th      Giancarlo Fisichella  Benetton  7           8             56             11th
16th      Olivier Panis         BAR       9           5             45             14th=
17th      Jenson Button         Benetton  8           2             16             17th
18th      Jos Verstappen        Arrows    14          1             14             18th


So we have our first driver scoring points for two different teams in the same year, so not all Alesi's points are worth the same! The two Sauber drivers are the two biggest gainers, while the two Ferrari drivers loose out, as they will every year until 2005 inclusive!

Code: Select all

1st   Williams  245 + 186      431
2nd   McLaren   260 + 111      371
3rd   Sauber    192 + 153      345
4th   Ferrari   123 + 11       235
5th   Jordan    144 + 24 + 66  234
6th=  BAR       120 + 45       165
6th=  Jaguar    108 + 57       165
8th   Benetton  56 + 16        72
9th   Prost     66             66
10th  Arrows    14             14


Despite Sauber's big gains in the driver's championship, the team finish only third here.

18th      Takuma Sato           Jordan    10          2             20             15th=


Button is 2nd=, and placed third on wins (or lack of them!). And this would be Minardi's best placing in the driver's championship for a long time, if ever.

Code: Select all

1st   Williams  300 + 210  510
2nd   Renault   210 + 126  336
3rd   Ferrari   154 + 144  298
4th   McLaren   123 + 96   219
5th   Jaguar    128        128
6th   Jordan    63 + 20    83
7th   Sauber    49 + 32    81
8th   BAR       44 + 36    80
9th   Toyota    48         48
10th  Minardi   46         46
11th  Arrows    40         40

Minardi only beat one other point-scoring team. Not what I was hoping for. :cry:

From another thread:

Super Aguri wrote:Sorting it out.
Once you have this, I tend to copy the sorted columns, go to Notepad (or a basic text editor program) and delete the tabs and replacing them with spaces so they line up. Then use the Code button in the forum editor screen and paste in the results.



I will do this once I have posted all the results. Does look a bit messy at the moment!

Michael Schumacher does not do well again but not as bad as he will next year!

7th   Toyota   102 + 48      150

9th   Jordan   54 + 38       92
10th   Minardi 21            21


A nice big total for the fag packet on wheels. And Sauber impresses in 3rd.

The most impressive year yet. The championship-winning driver scores over 1000 points and, thanks to the US GP, each and every team scores over 100 points each, and the team carrying numbers 1 and 2 finish almost dead last, behind even Minardi. YES, MINARDI BEAT FERRARI (and BAR too)!!!!!!! :) :D :mrgreen: :lol: :P

6th   Sauber   132 + 99              231
7th   Jordan   126 + 95              221
8th   Minardi  84 + 60               144
9th   Ferrari  76 + 62               138
10th  BAR      111 + 4               115


This must go down as the most epic alternative championship ever? (Barring any involving HWNSNBM dominating, of course)

2008: Lewis Hamilton scores like... 98 * 22. Over 2000 points I reckon. :lol:

It'll be similar in 2009 as well of course, but with Button.

Shame a front-running team couldn't have had high car numbers this year, does 23 times Kobayashi's points total come anywhere near the front-runners? Probably not.

Almost seems a shame to continue after that epic 2005 season, helped hugely by the farcical US GP that year. But here we go, nonetheless. (Am attepting to complete this today...)

Yes, and not quite!

(Posting these two years first, because there's a point I want to make about 2007 that is interesting and I don't want to forget making it!)

2006

Code: Select all

12th      Jacques Villeneuve   BMW Sauber 17          7             119            14th=
13th      Juan Pablo Montoya   McLaren    4           26            104            8th
14th      Robert Kubica        BMW Sauber 17          6             102            16th
15th      Pedro de la Rosa     McLaren    4           19            76             11th

19th      Vintantonio Liuzzi   Toro Rosso 20          1             20             19th


David Coulthard and Nick Heidfeld both gain well from this as does Jenson of course. And Fernando, as defending champion, naturally loses out.

Code: Select all

8th   Williams   63 + 40         103
9th   Toro Rosso 20              20


Honda and BMW Sauber have a decent season, and Renault lose out.

19th      Adrian Sutil         Spyker      20          1             20             19th


Sebastian Vettel becomes only the second driver since 1996 to score points for two differnt teams. The interesting point to make from this? Remember this year that Schumacher and Rosberg swapped car numbers before the start of the season? Had Ferrari done this, the top three would then be:

Code: Select all

1st       Felipe Massa         Ferrari     6           94            564             4th
2nd       Kimi Raikkonen       Ferrari     5           110           550             1st
3rd       Nick Heidfeld        BMW Sauber  9           61            549             5th


But it didn't turn out like that. And it's only the third time that the world champion in this alternate reality matches the real champion, following on from 1996 and 1998. And imagine how well Lewis could have done in this, his debut season, if only he had not been teammate to the reigning world champion...

Code: Select all

1st   Ferrari     660 + 470       1130
2nd   BMW Sauber  549 + 390 + 10  949
3rd   Williams    320 + 221       541
4th   Red Bull    196 + 150       346
5th   McLaren     218 + 109       327
6th   Renault     120 + 63        183
7th   Toyota      96 + 55         151
8th   Toro Rosso  95 + 54         149
9th   Super Aguri 88              88
10th  Honda       42              42
11th  Spyker      20              20


Inevitable? I think so. Well, apart from the brilliance of Super Aguri beating Honda by more than a factor of 2!

And now for the most recent 3 years!

James1978 wrote:Predictions for champions from 1998 to date:

1998 Hakkinen
1999 Frentzen
2000 Villeneuve (car 22 remember)
2001 Heidfeld maybe?
2002 Button?
2003 Alonso?
2004 Button
2005 Ralf Schumacher (car 17!!)
2006 Button
2007 Heidfeld
2008 Hamilton
2009 Button
2010 Alonso (his total will be over 2000 as long as he comes 8th or better today......) :)

Button and Heidfeld seem to do very well out of this! :)

Last three correct. But the facinating thing, considering this year's new points system, is that Fernando wins 2010 with fewer points than Lewis or Jenson did in 2008/9 (thanks to their no. 22!)! And Heidfeld has not won any as it turns out... 8 out of 13 isn't bad though!

Anyway,:

2008

Code: Select all

position  Driver             Team       car number  points total  revised total  original position
1st       Lewis Hamilton     McLaren    22          98            2156           1st

3rd       Sebastian Vettel   Toro Rosso 15          35            525            8th
4th       Jarno Trulli       Toyota     11          31            341            9th
5th       Fernando Alonso    Renault    5           61            305            5th
6th=      Robert Kubica      BMW Sauber 4           75            300            3rd=
6th=      Timo Glock         Toyota     12          25            300            10th
8th       Mark Webber        Red Bull   10          21            210            11th
9th       Felipe Massa       Ferrari    2           97            194            2nd
10th      Rubens Barrichello Honda      17          11            187            14th

Code: Select all

11th      Nick Heidfeld      BMW Sauber 3           60            180            6th
12th      Nico Rosberg       Williams   7           17            119            13th
13th      Nelson Piquet      Renault    6           19            114            12th
14th      Kimi Raikkonen     Ferrari    1           75            75             3rd=
15th=     Kazuki Nakajima    Williams   8           9             72             15th
15th=     David Coulthard    Red Bull   9           8             72             16th
17th      Sebastien Boudais  Toro Rosso 14          4             56             17th
18th      Jenson Button      Honda      16          3             48             18th


Kovalainen, Vettel and Trulli really do gain a lot from this system! And poor old Kimi - champion to 14th! And McLaren really dominated this year, thanks to the spy scandal and subsequant DSQ and large car numbers - it would have been a shock if they could not dominate.

Code: Select all

1st   McLaren    2156 + 1219 3375
2nd   Toyota     341 + 300   641
3rd   Toro Rosso 525 + 56    581
4th   BMW Sauber 300 + 180   480
5th   Renault    305 + 114   419
6th   Red Bull   210 + 72    282
7th   Ferrari    194 + 75    269
8th   Honda      187 + 48    235
9th   Williams   119 + 72    191


Mike Couglan did McLaren a favour here, getting them involved in the spy scandal. I'm sure this must be the most dominant performance to date...

Toro Rosso could have got 2nd in the championship if only Bourdais had done better... The Monza startline problem, given a different set of circumstances, may have swayed this?
