6th= BAR-Honda 9pts
8th Toyota 4pts
9th Jaguar-Cosworth 3pts

no difference at all in the top echelons of both championship tables. mainly the bottom half of the standings are affected. Jordan would have finished 5th in the constructors' championship on the dint of their sole win in Brazil, with Sauber and BAR tied for 6th (Minardi not making it into the points on the old scoring system either, with reliability incredibly high); obviously a lot less drivers would have scored at all. Fisichella would have claimed best of the rest on his and Jordan's sole points finish. so does it appear that changing the points system has made the battle for points for mid-field teams better?
