A meeting of the F1 Commission did not come to a final decision, with more time needed to evaluate the changes.
The decision on the proposed revamped points system in Formula 1 has been postponed by the F1 Commission after their meeting. The panel, consisting of the Commercial Rights Holder, the FIA, and the 10 teams, gathered to deliberate on refreshing the points system, contemplating awarding points to the top 12 drivers. The proposal necessitates support from five current teams for approval before being presented to the World Motor Sport Council for final endorsement, yet no conclusive decision was reached at the meeting. The final decision has been rescheduled to the July Commission meeting for additional scrutiny. The revamp was prompted by concerns that smaller teams struggle to compete for points against the dominant forces like Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, and Aston Martin. In other Commission updates, FOM will announce dates for 2025 pre-season testing, and cars will be equipped with rear-facing cameras starting from the Spanish Grand Prix. RB team principal supports the changes, highlighting the absence of back markers, while Red Bull boss remains indifferent pending further analysis before implementing the new system.
