New points system to be launched in 2010

-
It is a foregone conclusion that next season will see a change in the points awarded for races. Since there will be more cars on the grid, the FIA has seen it fit to increase points collection positions from 8 to 10 and the points collected for each position also increases.

This is how it works out:

1st: 25
2nd: 20
3rd: 15
4th: 10
5th: 8
6th: 6
7th: 5
8th: 3
9th: 2
10th: 1

This probably will make it more interesting but it would be a chore to be calculating the points and drivers positions on the fly. We'd definitely need a paper and pen handy everytime during a race.

LEWIS HAMILTON FINDS HIS ITALIAN BONO AS FERRARI ENGINEERING REVOLUTION FUELS HIS F1 COMEBACK

-

Formula 1 is often decided by the smallest details. A tenth of a second in a corner, a perfect strategy call, a better understanding between driver and engineer. For a driver like Lewis, who has spent more than a decade operating at the highest level of motorsport, the relationship with his race engineer is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle. After a difficult first season with Ferrari, Lewis appears to have found the missing link that can help him unlock his full potential in red. The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion believes a major change behind the scenes has played a huge role in improving his performances during the 2026 F1 season. That change has been the arrival of Carlo Santi as his race engineer. Lewis has described Santi as his “Italian Bono”, a reference to his legendary Mercedes race engineer Peter “Bono” Bonnington, who played a crucial role throughout Lewis’ record-breaking years with Mercedes. The comparison is a huge compliment. Bono was not just an ...

LEWIS HAMILTON SPARKS F1 FRENZY WITH MYSTERIOUS “08.08” TEASE ON INSTAGRAM

Lewis has once again captured the imagination of the Formula 1 world—this time not with a blistering lap or a dramatic overtake, but with a cryptic Instagram Story that sent shockwaves through the F1 community. On July 30, the seven-time world champion shared a moody image of a smoking matchstick resting against a box of matches. But it wasn’t the aesthetic that caught fans’ attention. It was the numbers printed on the box: 08.08. Just two digits, but enough to set off a firestorm of speculation about what Lewis is about to announce on August 8th. No caption. No further context. Just a smoky teaser during F1’s summer break—and a wave of questions. Right In The Middle Of The Summer Break August 8 falls neatly in the middle of Formula 1’s traditional summer shutdown, a quiet window when teams regroup, factories go dark, and fans get a breather. But leave it to Lewis to stir the pot during the calm. The Ferrari star has always had a flair for the dramatic, and his fans know better than to...

LEWIS HAMILTON IS THE CLEANEST DRIVER IN FORMULA 1 AND THE STATS PROVE IT

-

In the world of Formula 1, where high speeds and split-second decisions often lead to controversy, Lewis Hamilton continues to stand apart as one of the cleanest and most respected drivers on the grid. At the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, Lewis picked up a rare penalty that put him on the back foot ahead of Ferrari’s crucial home race at Monza. While penalties are common in F1, the bigger story is just how unusual this moment was for Lewis. Lewis has built his career on a reputation of fair, clean, and intelligent racing. Mistakes happen, but when you compare his record to other drivers on the grid—especially his long-time rival Max Verstappen—the difference is staggering. What happened in Zandvoort only highlights what an anomaly it is when Lewis receives a sanction. What Happened At The Dutch Grand Prix The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort was already shaping up to be a chaotic weekend, and unfortunately for Lewis, it ended earlier than expected. His Ferrari found the barriers just as the firs...
