Autosport understands that an expansion of points on offer has come following some lobbying from smaller outfits who believe it would be an improvement for them and F1 if points were more widely distributed.

After four races so far this season, three teams – Alpine, Williams and Sauber – have failed to score any points because of the near lockout that the top five outfits have on the top 10 places.

While it is understood that there is not set to be unanimous support for the proposal, it only requires six of the current 10 teams to back it next week for it to be introduced for next season.

A car already must be classified as finishing the race to get any points, so this isn’t likely to be an issue.

And cars who dnf in the final few laps are often classified in the race results so this will absolutely be an issue
