Teensy bit late maybe, seeing as the season kicks off in a matter of weeks, but the points system now seems to have been confirmed as: 1st = 25, 2nd = 18, 3rd = 15, 4th = 12, 5th = 10, 6th = 8, 7th = 6, 8th = 4, 9th = 2 and 10th = 1. Definitely a nice bit of incentive to try for the win rather than settling for 2nd.
Some interesting tyre regs have rolled up too. Sorry, you're probably tyred of those jokes by now. No, wheely. Anyway, drivers must now start the race on the tyres they finished qualifying with, which should be interesting. Risk a good grid slot to ensure you're on the right tyre at the race start? Or go for pole and hope you're OK in the first stint?
The number of sets of dry tyres a team gets over the weekend has also been reduced from 14 to 11, and 3 sets of those get taken away during Friday, to encourage more running on that day.
Good Lord - common sense! We urgently need a dose of rampant F1 stupidity from somewhere. I propose the immediate banning of more than 1 mechanic being allowed to work on the car at a time during pit stops.
(Still wigging out baby. Yeah! The telescopes are cruising down Ocean Drive. Far out.)
