The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix saw few retirements, so there was little change in the Motors Inside standings that measure driver consistency.
Hamilton is still in the lead with 298 points, followed by the two BMW-Sauber drivers, Heidfeld and then Kubica with 283 and 276 points, respectively. Massa retains his 4th place, but Kovalainen, with his retirement in Shanghai, sees his compatriot Räikkönen and Alonso move ahead in the standings. (245, 241 and 239 points).
Vettel gains a place at the expense of Nakajima for 12th place. They are preceded by Trulli, Webber, Rosberg, and Glock. Coulthard has 154 points in 14th place while Bourdais climbs a rank to occupy 15th at the expense of Button (141 against 139 units).

Reminder of the purpose of this ranking:
There is certainly an official ranking in Formula 1 that allocates points based on the importance of the positions achieved, that is, with a decreasing scale of two-by-two for the top three positions. 10 points for the winner, 8 for the second place, and 6 for the third.
This scale only rewards drivers who finish in the top eight, drivers who regularly place in the top 10 (such as 9th and 10th) are never congratulated, even though this position is almost as important as an eighth position which usually awards a point.
To rectify the situation, casinoenligne.uk.com invents the consistency ranking: Each driver receives a point according to their reverse order of arrival, provided they have crossed the checkered flag. In case of abandonment, they receive no points. The first receives 22 points, the second 21, the third 20, and so on. The 22nd, if there is one, will inherit just one point.
In the end, we get a ranking based on the finishing position in each race, showing the consistency of each individual and allowing the driver to be rewarded for the work they contribute to the team, not just based on their position.
