15-10-8-6-4-3-2-1 sounds like a really good idea – lets hope F1 is listening as simple solutions are much more effective and it’ll also be much easier for people to understand.

And third place is even more valuable (64% vs 60%).Therefore the Moto GP system would actually value winning even less than the present arrangement in F1 and increase the important of consistency even more.I agree with you that what needs to be done is increase the value of winning while maintaining some reward for consistency. I would change the points system something more like this:15-10-8-6-4-3-2-1Where second place is worth 66% of a win. “This system rewards the winner by having a bigger margin of points”

15-10-8-6-4-3-2-1

Where second place is worth 66% of a win.
