Full story: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/exclusive-f1-to-discuss-new-points-structure/10601482/

Autosport understands that an expansion of points on offer has come following some lobbying from smaller outfits who believe it would be an improvement for them and F1 if points were more widely distributed.

After four races so far this season, three teams – Alpine, Williams and Sauber – have failed to score any points because of the near lockout that the top five outfits have on the top 10 places.

While it is understood that there is not set to be unanimous support for the proposal, it only requires six of the current 10 teams to back it next week for it to be introduced for next season.

The budget cap brings them closer on track, and appears to be working well? If you exclude VES then the field is incredibly close as is.

True. I guess I didn't give enough credit where it's due on that front. But I do wonder why F1 has seemingly always had one driver that flies so far ahead of the pack in a way even video games can't replicate...

One extraordinary individual eventually finds his way into the best car creating an unbeatable combination.

...the math checks out. I can't refute.

Sounds like that driver needs to be hit by a blue shell
