Stefano Domenicali determines a new regulation regarding points and Quali system changes to get things in a very competitive way. Earlier when proposed by a certain group of media, it was discarded by several drivers but seems like the CEO has made some plans to see certain changes in the sport. People want something new in a very short time and Stefano understands that very well.
Drive to Survive attracted a lot of people with no mind about what Formula 1 is. But today, a huge fan base, directed by the series has become a regular watcher of the sport. With new followers adding up the list, Domenicali wants various versions of his points system and competitiveness to make things more exciting for the upcoming fans.
Stefano hence justifies, “We have won over a non-racing audience by creating different content. Young people need intensity: new cameras, new types of storytelling. “You have to try [to implement new ideas]. There are always many excuses not to do it. It is a life principle. Purists will always turn up their noses, but over the years, F1 has changed the way of qualifying dozens of times,” said Domenicali.

Stefano Domenicali’s proposal for the upcoming Formula 1 seasons
Stefano Domenicali determines new points system and qualifications technique in the list of his future plans. With a variety of projects as it is under Domenicali, the Qualifications system needs a change. “In a normal weekend, the one consisting of free practice 1 and 2 on Friday, each session should be given away either points, or single qualifying laps, or a qualification for a different and short Saturday race, instead of the third free practice, perhaps with the mechanism of the reverse grid,” said Stefano.
Domenicali also agrees with the reverse grid, “We are putting a lot of things on the table [such as the reverse grid]. Many say no, but we have seen on some occasions the beauty of having reshuffles in the race, more overtaking. We have an obligation to try, ” said the CEO.
Currently, Red Bull Ferrari Mercedes are dominating the sport. With teams working under less budget, Stefano needs better results in making the sport much closer.
