The Formula 1 Commission has elected to postpone its verdict on extending the existing structure for points-scoring positions next season
Last week, Formula One Management (FOM), the FIA, and the 10 F1 teams discussed distributing points to the top 12 places starting from 2025. Following discussions, the F1 Commission agreed that more extensive evaluations were necessary before proposing changes in July. The proposed new points system would award points from 25-1 to promote competitiveness among lower-placed teams. However, driver Esteban Ocon of Alpine expressed his preference for lower-end teams improving performance to challenge the top five. In other news, Australia will host the season-opening round in 2025, casting doubt on whether Bahrain will continue to host winter testing. The F1 Commission approved the installation of rear-facing cameras on cars starting from the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix, with revisions to Sporting and Financial Regulations also passed. Details from the F1 Commission’s meetings were not publicly disclosed.
