The RacingNews365 team has got together to offer our opinions on F1’s proposed shake-up to the points system that could see the top 12 walk away with something to show.
Formula 1 is considering a new points system that would award points to the top 12 instead of the current top 10 teams, reflecting the dominance of the top five teams in the sport. The bottom five teams have only scored 12 points compared to the 534 points earned by the top teams in the first five races. RacingNews365 discussed the proposals, with Kevin Magnussen suggesting an IndyCar-style points system, which some find controversial due to F1’s traditional scoring system. While the new system may provide more opportunities for lower-ranked teams, it could dilute the competitiveness of the sport. Ultimately, Formula 1 is known for its challenging environment where points are earned through exceptional performance, not simply participation.
