The FIA have rejected the proposed new points system giving points down to 12th. I think that's a shame, personally.

All the teams unanimously voted against it https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f...-rejection-of-points-system-changes/10638056/

Doesn't seem like a good move for anyone involved, tbh. Well done to Ocon for securing his place on the grid for a while longer, but I think this will be a headache for the team soon enough, and Bearman could really do with a better team player as his partner in his rookie season.

Feels like we're just waiting on Sainz confirming where he's off to and then the rest of the grid will fall into place; with a list of drivers potentially waiting to find out if they have a seat including Antonelli (Merc), Schumacher (Alpine/Audi), Doohan (Alpine), Bottas (Williams), Lawson (RB), Ricciardo (RB) and of course Perez

I think they'll confirm Antonelli in Monza, at his home race, if he has a good weekend in Spa.

He's running in a '22 Merc at Spa next week as well in a private test
