It’s final, folks. The FIA has tweaked the Formula One points system for the 2010 season to favor race winners.
The points distribution will now be: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. The new ruling widened the gap between 1st and 2nd place winners.
As additional rulings, the FIA placed more restrictions on tires. All drivers who enter the top 10 in qualifying must start the race on the tires they used for their quickest lap. Teams will also be allowed to used just 11 sets of tires insstead of 14.
With all of these new rules, we could all just hope that drivers get some brass balls. It’s been a while since we saw real battles out on the field.
For some reason, it looks like Formula One drivers have been pampered too much by their Monaco lifestyles to push things closer to the edge. The new points system should help make drivers go for the win.
