The World Motor Sport Council met in Monaco on December 11 2009. The following some decisions taken in regards to the 2010 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
The new points system, which was surprisingly proposed by the F1 Commssion Thursday, will be used in F1 in 2010. The statement from the FIA says: “Due to the expanded grid of 13 teams, and further to the recommendation of the F1 Commission, a new points system will be in place for the 2010 season.” The new system extends the points down to tenth place without changing the relative value of finishing first, second or third. In essence, it is just to make the smaller teams more likely to score and to give them something to fight for. The new system will award points in the following order: 25-20-15-10-8-6-5-3-2-1. 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship 14/3 BHR Bahrain 28/3 AUS Australia 4/4 MYS Malaysia 18/4 CHN China 9/5 ESP Spain 16/5 MCO Monaco 30/5 TUR Turkey 13/6 CAN Canada 27/6 ESP Europe (Valencia) 11/7 GBR Great Britain 25/7 DEU Germany 1/8 HUN Hungary 29/8 BEL Belgium 12/9 ITA Italy 26/9 SGP Singapore 10/10 JPN Japan 24/10 KOR Korea* 7/11 BRA Brazil 14/11 ARE Abu Dhabi *Subject to the homologation of the circuit.
