The F1 Commission will meet later this week and involved in the discussions is set to be the prospect of introducing a new point-scoring system – but what are the proposed changes?
Throughout Formula 1’s history, various point-scoring formats have been used, starting with only the top five scoring in the early stages of the championship. In 1960, points were extended to the top six finishers. More versions have been introduced over time, with the current top 10 system in place since 2010. In 2019, a slight tweak was added with an extra point for the fastest lap if the driver finishes in the top 10. A new format could potentially be introduced in the 2025 season, expanding point-scoring positions to 12th place. This adjustment aims to allow more teams in the lower half of the standings to earn points and enhance the constructors’ championship battle.
