This wouldn't have helped Van der Garde either: 'Was still screwed'

For now, the plan is on hold again: the F1 teams still want more research into the pros and cons of a new points system in Formula 1, it emerged last week after the F1 Commission - the consultative body of the ten teams. At least some of the teams are strongly in favour of giving points to the top 12 classified drivers in a Grand Prix from next season, instead of the 10 now. The idea can count on support from Giedo van der Garde.
