Formula 1 may change its scoring system sooner rather than later. According to information provided by Motorsport.com next week, at the meeting of the teams with the FIA at the Formula 1 Commission held in Geneva, the possibility of passing will be put on the table. from 10 to 12 the number of drivers who scored points at the end of a race.
The idea is that the impact on the top positions is zero and stays like this (25 for first, 18 for second, 15 for third, 12 for fourth, 10 for fifth, 8 for sixth… ). The big change is behind. Instead of the eighth adding four, the ninth adding two and the tenth, it is suggested that the 8th to 12th add five, four, three, two and one respectively.
According to this source, this happens because the smaller teams asked to expand the points zone and thus they can get more benefits and it will give more value to the races with battles for bigger loot.
The current points system has not been changed since its introduction in 2010. Previously the top eight earned 10 points for first. A system introduced in 2003 and before, since 1991, only the first six scored.
