He won't have a seat next year unless he contributes. I leave it to you to define what contribute would mean. But at this rate, Schu will not win the World Championship with Alonso finishing second all the time as he does.

Under the old 10-6-4-3-2-1 scoring system, Alonso has 86 I believe and Schu 67 so Schu is currently getting a benefit from it. However, my problem is that there is only a 2 pt. gap from 1st and 2nd. If Schu continues to win and Alonso finishes 2nd, under the old pts. system he would be able to creep back to Fernando in 5 races. Like I said, Schu or any other driver can't get that close under this current scoring method unless a race is added so Renault can race for 2nd and reliability.

I have nothing against Alonso. I like him. He is a classy guy and a great driver. I rate him much higher than Kimi, but I just don't agree with how scoring is done in F1 and World Rally today. Why 8 for finishing second when the object of motor racing is to win?
