The proposed new points system in Formula 1 will undergo further analysis before a decision is made by the F1 Commission after the latest meeting. The idea of increasing the number of drivers scoring points in a grand prix from 10 to 12 was discussed to benefit teams just outside the top 10. A vote at the meeting required six out of the 10 teams to be in favor for the change to pass, but the FIA stated that more analysis is needed before a proposal is presented in July. The meeting, chaired by FIA director Nikolas Tombazis and F1 president Stefano Domenicali, also saw the introduction of rear-facing cameras starting from this year’s Spanish Grand Prix and some minor adjustments to sporting and financial regulations. Pre-season testing dates and venues for next year, including the first race in Australia and the second in China, were the only other topics addressed in the meeting, with changes to the testing schedule due to Bahrain hosting round four next season. The F1 Commission will consider a proposal regarding dates and venues for testing.
