RB and Red Bull team principals Laurent Mekies and Christian Horner have differing views on the prospect of another change to the points system.
RB team principal Laurent Mekies supports the proposed change to the points system, emphasizing the importance of competitiveness in Formula 1. The discussion on allowing the top-12 drivers to score points instead of just the top 10 is ongoing among F1 teams. Mekies highlights the current dominance of the top five teams and the limited opportunities for smaller teams to earn points. He argues that this adjustment would recognize the fierce competition among all teams and provide more meritocracy in scoring. Mekies believes the change would not diminish the battles at the front of the grid but would enhance the recognition of mid-field teams. Meanwhile, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner expresses ambivalence towards the proposed change, noting the existing competitiveness between teams ranked six to ten.
