“The FIA received criticism for the distribution of points, but it was not the FIA that made those rules. these words of Mohammed Ben Sulayempresident of the FIA, are related to the distribution of points that are given in Formula 1 races that are not finished.
A distribution that could be modified for the next season, in which the percentage of the completed race could vary to award the points to the pilots.
In ‘Motorsport’ he has spoken about who has made those decisions: “Going back to the important issue, who chose those rules? The teams. Who approved them? The teams. We just had to apply and that’s what we did. And who was to blame? Us. Honestly, where is the equity? Tell me, because this frustrates me.”
If the race goes over 25% of the laps but does not go halfway through, the winner would receive 13 points. That is to say, something more than half of the 25 that he would receive in case of taking the victory.
In case the race can be played between the 50 and 75% of the laps, the first classified will receive 19 points. And always above 75%, all points, that is, 25 for the winner.
After the mix-up at the 2022 Japanese GP, F1 wants to have it all tied up. The president of the FIA wanted to emphasize that these rules have been decided by the teams in the competition and that they have nothing to do with the body he directs.
