This area of F1 has undergone several changes over the years. Is another now required? Vote in the latest RacingNews365 poll!
The Formula 1 points system was last significantly changed before the 2010 season, expanding the paying positions from top 8 to top 10. In 2019, a bonus point for the fastest lap was added if the driver finished in the top 10. By 2024, the grid has split into two fields of five teams, with only the top five teams expected to score points in races. Teams like Alpine, Williams, RB, Stake, and Haas could have strong weekends but end up without points if they finish 11th. Some suggest increasing the points-paying positions to give more chances to score, but the debate on revamping the system continues.
