F1 is considering overhauling the points system, but what is your verdict on the proposals?
Formula 1’s points system has seen only one change since 2010, with the addition of a bonus point for the fastest lap in 2019. The current point allocation is 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for the top 10 finishers. In the early 2000s, only the top six drivers received points, showing a significant modification over the years. The dominating presence of the big five teams often leaves the smaller teams struggling for points, leading to discussions about extending the scoring system to include up to 12th place. This potential change could benefit drivers like Esteban Ocon and Alex Albon, who would have scored points in recent races.
