Martin Brundle slams new F1 points system proposal: 'They must be hard won'

Martin Brundle isn't a fan of the proposed F1 points system that could see the top 12 finishers awarded points.

commentator Martin Brundle has slammed the latest proposal to award points to the top 12 finishers in a grand prix.

Currently, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin tend to lock-out the top 10 spots on the grid given their advantage over the rest of the field. “Even the bottom five teams are large 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.”

“We also think it's more meritocratic because, if you score points up until P12, you will avoid the effect where if something completely stunning happens and somebody scores a P5 or P4 in the rain, it means the other guys can stay home for 10 races.Haas boss Ayao Komatsu doesn’t see any downsides either.
