The F1 Commission will meet this week to discuss introducing a new points system – but what do the current drivers make of the potential change?
The F1 Commission is set to meet this week to discuss a new points system for the sport that could be implemented as soon as 2025, awarding points to the top 12 instead of the top 10 teams at the end of a Grand Prix. Some drivers, like Valtteri Bottas, who is part of a team yet to score points this season, are in favor of the change, as it would provide more opportunities for teams outside the regular point-scorers. However, drivers like Alex Albon prefer to focus on becoming a top-five team rather than relying on the proposed new points system to improve their standings. On the other hand, Pierre Gasly and Kevin Magnussen have differing opinions, with Gasly against changing the current system, while Magnussen suggests awarding points to every finisher, as done in other series like the IndyCar Series. Overall, there are mixed reactions among drivers regarding the possible introduction of a new points system in Formula 1.
