Vettel blasts decision on double points
Print Edition
Four-time Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel has ridiculed a decision to give double points in the final race of the upcoming seasons, calling it “absurd.”
The German driver said the decision by the sport’s governing body “punishes those who have worked hard for a whole season.”
The idea behind the decision is to add suspense to the season’s finale. Vettel dominated this season and won the title with three races to spare.
“I respect old traditions in the Formula One and I don’t understand the new rule,” Vettel told Sport-Bild magazine yesterday.
“Imagine if there were suddenly double points in the final round of the Bundesliga,” he said.
“This is absurd and punishes those who have worked hard for a whole season,” Vettel said.
The doubling of points was announced by the FIA, motor sports’ governing body.
It said the change will “maximize focus on the Championship until the end of the campaign.”
