Legendary F1 commentator Martin Brundle has slammed the latest proposal to ꦍaward points to the top 12 finishers in a grand p🧔rix.

The idea was mooted during the C꧒hinese Grand Prix weekend amid the competitiveness of the top five t𓄧eams.

Curren൲tly, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin tend to lock-out the top 10 spots on the grid given their advantage over the rest of the field.

That means the midfield teams have found it difficult to score points barring unreliability or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll underperforming.

As a result one proposal putꩵ forward is to award points from 1st down to 12th to give ღsmaller teams something to fight for.

However, Brundle isn’t keen on the idea.

“Formula One world championship points mu𓄧st be hard won and treasured,” he wrote on his X account. “Valued. Not some kind of lucky dip where everyone wins a prize.”

What is the proposed F1 points system?

Is it likely to happen?

The proposal seems to have been met with overwhelming suppoဣrt from a number of team bosses.

RB team principal Laꦰurent Mekies believes it would only result in positives for F1 as a whole.

He told Autosport: “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 teams.

“Even the bottom 🍸five teams are large organisations now and it's very difficult to explain to the outside world, t𝓰o our partners, and to our fans, that we battle for a P11 that actually grants zero points.”

“If you look at the level of competitiveness of the top five teams and the reliability level of the cars, it means that most of the race you're battling theoretically for zero points,♐ and we don't think this is right.

“We als♋o think it's more meritocratic because, if you score points up until P12, you will avoid the effect where if something completely stunning happens and somebody scores a P5 or P4 in the rain, it means the other guys can stay home for 10 races.

“We think it's ticking all the boxes with virtually no downside,ও so hopefully it will go through.”

Haas bos꧟s Ayao Komatsu doesn’t see any downsides either.

“What’s the downside? Currently, we have three teams with zero points and I don't think that's g💙ood for sport,” he explained.

“If somebody was awarded points for P11, P12, there will be less people with zero points. So, I think it's clearer for the fans and for the motivation of everybody working in a team as well. It's much better to come out with P12 with one point, P11 with two points, it's𒁏 a reward.”

Ferrari’s Frederic Vasseur is also not “against” the propo🌜sal.

The Ferrari boss said: “I'm not against, and coming from Alfa Romeo, I perfectly understand sometimes the frustration that you ar﷽e doing a mega weekend, but if there is no DNF in front of you then you finish P11 and the reward is zero.”
