The rule which saw Max Verstappen crowned F1 World Champion in Japan has come in for criticism.
The 2021 World Champion was crowned as the ’22 champion at the Japanese Grand Prix, having been unaware of the possibility as he took the chequered flag to win the race.
The confusing rule, which even had the World Champion’s team unaware of their title win until an FIA representative confirmed the result to Verstappen, has come in for criticism in the time since the race ended, with the BBC crew voicing their concerns.“So there’s a sliding scale of points – if the race is between nought and 25% race distance, there’s a certain amount of points – no points if there are less than two laps,” Nicholls said on the“Then there’s another set for 25 to 50%.
“Honestly, everybody thought that. Christian Horner didn’t think they were champions at Red Bull because they all thought ‘we’ve done half the race, so we get 50% points’. “The fact nobody can celebrate properly, Max Verstappen was unsure of what was going on. It should have been a great moment of glory with everybody on the team radio saying ‘well done, Max, you’re a two-time World Champion’ – I can hear Christian Horner saying it now in my head! It should have been that moment of celebration. I feel like Max has been robbed again, of that moment of clarity.”
