FORMULA ONE are set to introduce a new points system next season that will boost competition on the track.
The likes of Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin have been been dominating F1 for a great part of the last few years.
But racing chiefs are considering a new rule that will create a more equal competition between the Big Five and smaller teams.
According to Bild, points will be awarded to the 12 best drivers from 2025 onwards.
That will see more F1 teams reaping the rewards rather than just the top 10.

The amount of points earned will remain the same for the top 7 as they will be gaining 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, eight and six - in that order.
However, come next year, eighth place will lead to five points - one more than it used to be - ninth doubles to four points while 10th will become three instead of one.
And 11th and 12th place will earn drivers two and one points respectively.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken in favour of that initiative.
Horner said: "The competition is tough. Two groups have formed.

"There are the top 5 and then the teams from sixth to tenth place.
“There is a fight for every single point.
"But in the end you have to ask yourself what it would really change.
"I'm completely impartial. But of course, points bring money. So I understand the concern.”
