(McLaren Mercedes)
Formula
One is currently looking for ways to spice up the show as a way of reaching a
wider fan base with commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone calling for a
series of summit meetings to discuss ways of improving the show for
fans.
There
is a simple solution to this however. The sport should scrap the current plan
which will double point’s being awarded at the final race of the 2014 season in
Abu Dhabi and instead introduce a secondary point’s scoring system which awards
point’s for the pole sitter.
A pole position trophy has been commissioned for
the season however a points table for the pole lap.
The
is already the DHL Fastest lap award which is given to the driver with the most
fastest laps of the season and it would be a great incentive for teams and
drivers as it would be another way for them to collect point’s.
It
would have the potential to spice things up as smaller teams may receive a
point for setting the fastest lap during a Grand Prix.
As
it stands the only point’s awarded are for the top ten finishers in a Grand
Prix and this would new system would add extra incentive for teams as it could
potentially mean that they will receive a larger share of the prize money
handed out at the end of the season as this is done on the basis of where a
team finishes in the Constructors championship.
Depending
on a where a team finishes in the championship determines where their garages
are located in the pit-lane. This would certainly be a great way to get more
fans interested in the sport.
