“Further analysis” required as new F1 points system proposal delayed
The FIꦛA have provided an update⭕ on proposals to change F1's points system.

The FIA has announced that “further analysis” is required before F1’s points system is potentially changed for the 2025 F1 seas🐟on.
Outlined in a media statement by the 🔯FIA on Thursday afternoon, members of the F1 Commission discussed a proposal of changing the sport🍸’s points system.
The new proposed system would look to awaꦛrd points to the top 12 f♔inishers, rather than top 10, to give midfield teams more to fight for during grand prix weekends.
The FIA noted: “Commission members discussed a proposal for changes to the distribution of Championꦕship points, as described in Articles 6.4 and 6.5 of the Sporting🌸 Regulations.
“It was agreed tﷺhat further🐻 analysis of proposed changes was required with a view to a proposal to be presented to the F1 Commission meeting in July.”
Plans to change the points system in F1 have been met fairly positively✤.
RB bo𒀰ss Lau🔯rent Mekies, formerly of the FIA, has backed the idea.
He said: “Of course, I will support that. “There are no backmarkers any more. There are six OEMs in F1, plus Red Bull Racing, so it's like seven top teamsꦦ.
“Even the bo💧ttom five teams are large organisations now a🍎nd it's very difficult to explain to the outside world, to our partners, and to our fans, that we battle for a P11 that actually grants zero points.”
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu and Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur are also s♈upportive of the ne🔜w points system.
However, it has �✅�been met with some criticism, particularly from Martin Brundle.
“Formula One world championship points must be hard won and treasured,” he wrote on his X account. “Valu𝓰ed. Not some kind of lucky dip whe🍰re everyone wins a prize.”
The FIA also confirmed that discussion on where pre-season testing will take place occurred 🤡and that rear-view facing cameras will be introduced from the Spanish Grand Prix onwards.
