FIA have revealed a new F1 Superlicence points system active from 2016.

Interesting that F2 is weighted highest and it doesn't even exist yet.

Probably a good move overall though in order to preventing getting younger and younger drivers onto the grid.

Apparently from the existing grid Kimi, Alonso and Ricciardo wouldn't have qualified on their debuts.

But, as is the increasing norm for a body which seemingly struggles to write its own name without getting one of the letters wrong or simply missing one out entirely, it is in the execution that the FIA hasn’t really thought it through.

Pretty much sums up the FIA.
