Should Formula 1 introduce a new points system? Have your say below in the latest RacingNews365 poll!
The Formula 1 points system has sparked debate about the need for change, with a proposal to award points to the top 12 drivers being rejected by the F1 Commission last July. Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan and ex-driver David Coulthard find the proposition unnecessary, fearing that awarding points to all positions may become a reality. Coulthard recalls when only the top six drivers earned points from 1960 to 2002, followed by the top eight from 2003 to 2009, and the current system since 2010. One adjustment for the upcoming season is the elimination of the fastest lap bonus point. Advocates for fewer positions receiving points argue it motivates drivers and teams to push harder instead of settling for tenth place. Do you believe Formula 1 should adopt a new points system?
