Formula One may be on the brink of overhauling its points system again.
Just over a one month after the old 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 system was replaced with a MotoGP-type format of 25-20-15-10-8-6-5-3-2-1 points, plans are underway to give even greater reward for winning a race.
At the Sporting Working Group think-tank meeting in London last week, teams approved a further overhaul to reward more for race wins.
Rather than there being a five points different between first and second, teams agreed to expand that difference to seven points - with further tweaks to the points taking place lower down the order.
The new points structure being proposed is: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1.
The matter still needs to be approved by next month's meeting of the Formula One Commission before the FIA World Motor Sport Council can put it into the 2010 regulations.
