The little ones want it, but the big ones don’t support one of the most important changes in Formula 1
#big #dont #support #important #Formula
2026 will be a historic year in the history of Formula 1, as the race series that started in 1950 has perhaps never before undergone such a radical change as it will in two years. New body rules, new resources (mandatory electric-hybrid drive), and two more teams on the grid. The arrival of Audi is already certain, the German factory team already has its first competitor In the person of Nico Hülkenberg.
However, there are still questions to be decided, one of which is the number of points that can be awarded at the end of the competitions. At the moment, the top ten drivers get points, which the “little ones” don’t like very much, who feel that no matter how well they perform on a race weekend, if their car only finishes in 11th place, it’s the same as being last, no one pays attention to them either . And if there will be 24 cars on the grid instead of 20, it will be even more difficult to draw attention to yourself as a scorer.

This is how it can be seen if the small ones (Alpine, Haas, Stake F1, Visa Cash App and Williams) fully support the rule change, according to which 12 drivers should receive points instead of 10. Meanwhile, the big ones (Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari and Aston Martin) are pulling to vote for the change. That is why it is an important moment that the Ferrari team boss, Fréderic Vasseur, assured the “12” camp of his understanding.
“For my part, I’m not against the modification. I worked at Alfa Romeo (currently a team running under the name Stake F1), so I feel exactly the frustration of these teams.
Even if you produce a fantastic weekend, if one of the big guys doesn’t drop out, you can only be 11th at best. For which your reward is exactly one big zero, just as if you were last, 20th
– said the 55-year-old team boss after the Chinese Grand Prix.
At the same time, he also drew attention to the fact that the change would not automatically mean a solution to the problem.
Okay, let’s say that next year 12 competitors will get points. Then there will be six teams ahead of you, and if you become 13th, you can say again that we deserve attention
– explained the French.
Whether there will be a change in scoring next year, or only from 2026 (or not at all), can be decided at the joint meeting of the teams and the company that owns the commercial rights in July.
