F1’s new points system looks on course to get support it needs
Autosport exclusively revealed ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix that F1 teams will discuss revising the points system for 2025 to reward down to 12th place. The proposal aims to address the current domination of the top ten positions by leading teams, hampering mid-field competition. The new system maintains current points for top seven places but changes distribution from eighth onwards. The proposal requires majority support from five teams, the FIA, and FOM for implementation. Mid-field teams support the change to boost competitiveness and eliminate zero-point finishes. Red Bull and Ferrari team principals are open to the idea, highlighting the need for a fairer points distribution system in F1.
