The possible introduction of a new points system in Formula 1 needs to be discussed further. As the International Automobile Federation (FIA) announced on Thursday after a meeting of the Formula 1 Commission in Geneva, it was agreed that the proposed changes must be further analyzed. Only then can a proposal be presented for the Formula 1 Commission meeting in July.
Currently, a Grand Prix winner gets 25 points, the second 18, the third 15. It continues with 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 points as well as one for the tenth place. According to the new proposal, it stays the same up to seventh place, after which 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points should be awarded.
Point for fastest lap remains
According to the proposal, there should be no change to the additional counter for the fastest race lap, which has existed since 2019, nor to the distribution of points for the sprint races, which in turn have been part of the premier motorsport program on selected weekends since 2021.
The Formula 1 Commission includes representatives of the ten racing teams, the rights holder Formula One Management and the World Automobile Association, which is responsible for the regulations.
