P1racenews AI automatic summary:
F1 fans are decidedly against the reintroduction of the controversial double-points season finale that was used just once, in 2014.
F1 fans overwhelmingly oppose the idea of bringing back the unpopular double-points season finale introduced in 2014 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Concerns arise about the potential artificial impact on the outcome of championships, as seen in the Max Verstappen vs. Lando Norris title fight with the McLaren driver trailing by 62 points with three races left. A recent poll showed over 84% of respondents against the reintroduction, emphasizing bigger issues in F1 than the championship dynamics. These sentiments reflect a belief that the current points system is sufficient, and that other aspects such as stewarding problems are more pressing concerns. The 2014 experiment’s clear unpopularity suggests F1 fans prefer a fair and consistent approach to determine the sport’s champions.
