Legendary F1 commentator Martin Brundle has slammed the latest proposal to award points to the top 12 finish🐓ers in a grand ♕prix.

The idea was mooted during the Chinese Grand Prix wee🍰kend amid the competitiveness of the top five tea🐠ms.

Currently, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren♑, Mercedes and Aston Martin tend to lock-out the top 10 spots on the grid given their advantage over the𒅌 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 propos🦄al put forward is to award points from 1st down to 12th to give smaller teams something to fight for.

However, Brundle isn’t keen on the idea.

“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 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 support from a number of team bosses.

RB team principal Laurent Mekies believes i꧅t 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 likeꦰ seven top🦩 teams.

“Even the bottom five teams are lar🍬ge organisations now and it'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.”

“If you look at the level of competitiveness of ꦬthe 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 also think it's more meritocratic because, if you score points up until P12, you will avoid the effect where if somet🌳hing 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, so hopeful🐭ly it will go through.”

Haas boss 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 good 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 tღeam as well. It's much better to come out with P12 with one point, P11 with two points, it's a reward.🃏”

Ferrari’s Frederic Vasseur is also not “against” th🧸e prop🌸osal.

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