The FIA has announced that “further analysis” is required before F1’s points system is potentially changed f♑or the 2025 F1 s🐓eason.

Outl💝ined 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 awar🐭d points to the top 12 finishers, rather than top 10, to give midfield teamsܫ more to fight for during grand prix weekends.

The FIA noted: “Commission members discussed a proposal for changes to the distribution of Championship points, as described in Arti🧸cles 6.4 and 6.5 ♎of the Sporting Regulations.

“It was agreed that further analysis of pꦆroposed changes was required with a view to a proposal ꦡto be presented to the F1 Commission meeting in July.”

Plans to change the🅠 points system in F1 have been met fairly positively.

RB boss Laurent Mekies, ♚formerly of the FIA, has backed the 🍒idea.

He said: “Of course, I will support that. “There are no backmarke🅠rs 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 i𝓡t'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 support♓ive of the new points system.

H൲owever, 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. “Valued. Not some kind of lucky dip where everꦡyone 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 onwa🌟rds.
