FOTA forces FIA to back down over points rule change
Thats right only days after the announcement that the driver with the most wins in the season would win the Driver's Championship FOTA have forced the FIA into submission. The FIA broke one of their own sporting regulations by being too late to amend the rules for this season. The sporting code stipulates the rules for points cannot be changed with 20 or less days to the start of the Championship unless the teams are unaminous in it's decision, thus making the rule change null and valid. Don't think this debarcle is over though as the FIA will still attempt to undermine FOTA for the 2010 regulations. FOTA has considered the fans opinions and hinted that a 12-9-7-5-4-3-2-1 points paying system in their favoured change.
