Due to the increase in the number of teams and amongst the other rules changes, the new points socring system has been agreed by the FIA for the next season.

1st = 25 pts
2nd = 18 pts
3rd = 15 pts
4th = 12 pts
5th = 10 pts
6th = 8 pts
7th = 6 pts
8th = 4 pts
9th = 2 pts
10th = 1pt

This will be instead of the existing 10, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, point scoring system.

I think this will be good for the sport with the extra points on offer, I think we will see more races with exciting finishes instead of settling for the points as they do nowadays.

It will make comparison with previous years points totals a little difficult though.
