Mooted F1 points system like "putting a plaster on a big cut" – Ocon
The FIA, FOM, and F1 teams are considering expanding the points system to include up to 12th place, aiming to have only 8 cars not scoring points in races, a move supported by drivers like Ocon. Ocon believes the main issue is the gap between midfield and frontrunning teams, describing the new system as a temporary fix. Kevin Magnussen from Haas supports the idea of giving points to all drivers to make races more engaging. Valtteri Bottas of Sauber agrees that more points positions would increase competition, especially for struggling teams like his own. Overall, drivers see the potential for more exciting and competitive races with an expanded points system.
