New Points System

With the new points system this season, drivers are more likely to push harder and take more risks to obtain first position, rather than settle for second.
In the past, drivers have far too often settled for second particularly if they've had a lot of consistency or are already leading the field. By having such a large gap between first and second means that simply running second or third is no longer a comfortable option for the drivers.


Also, by stretching out the points system to include points for positions nine and ten, means that more drivers will excel throughout the midfield (although, was needed with the addition of new teams however, with the exclusion of USF1 it gives the midfield even more to fight for).
