New scoring system could confuse fans - Button

By on

Brawn GP driver Jenson Button is positive about Formula One's new scoring system despite believing that it could lead to quite some confusion for the fans. "I think the system is logical and interesting, although some people could find it tricky to understand why, for example, a driver with 60 points can be champion instead of one who has 100," Button said to the Italian newspaper 'Gazzetta dello Sport'.

"For sure the new rule is an incentive to always go for the win, but could be risky because, after nine races, we could find ourselves with a driver that has already won the title while the guy who's second is only 18 points behind," Button continued.
