The announcement of double points for the season finale in Abu Dhabi next season and permanent numbers caused quite a stir amongst pundits and drivers on social media.
F1 double points at the last race? So it's worth more than Monaco or Spa's Eau Rouge 44 times? There's spicing it up and there's being daft.
- Toby Moody (@TobyMoody) December 10, 2013In all seriousness I'm not sure what to make of the double points rule. It's a bit pantomime but could be exciting. #OnTheFence #F1
- Tom Gaymor (@TomGaymor) December 9, 2013By winning Abu Dhabi next year, a driver can now score more points in one race than the bottom four teams together managed in all of 2013.
