The sports governing body the F.I.A. recently announced a few additions to the rules and regulations for 2014. The biggest of which was a proposal for DOUBLE points for the final race in Abu Dhabi. This proposal, which was designed by the teams, has caused great controversy and has divided many people in F1. Firstly I think the idea set forth is a good idea, as it will have a good chance of taking the Championship down to the final race of the season, which is what we fans want too see. But, with it already being 25 points for a win for the other 18 races, the points tally's have got very much out of hand. In India Ferarri's Fernando Alonso celebrated scoring the most points in F1's history, with a celebratory helmet. But with Champions like Ayrton Senna, James Hunt, Juan Mannuel Fangio, Micheal Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel all racing with different race winning points and the positions in which you can score points this accolade which Alonso achieved is no great one in reality. Therefore with a whopping 50 points for a win in Abu Dhabi the points system get out of hand even more. However i do like that the top 10 in qualifying can hold position in a GP and still score points, which never used to be the case. Overall I believe that the double points plan is a good one, but the F.I.A. have to sort out the points system because scoring 50 points in one race is absolutely ridiculous.
