Ecclestone postpones medal system until 2010

Bernie Ecclestone was disappointed that the FIA ​​had to withdraw the new system for awarding the drivers' championship. In 2009 the same method used in recent years will be adopted, but Ecclestone does not give up and postpones the new legislation to 2010.

The Briton was among the first to argue that the world champion title should be awarded to the one who wins the most and not to the one who collects the most points. On the BBC Radio 5 programme, the Formula 1 commercial rights holder expressed his disappointment at the defeat suffered shortly before the start of the new season: "To make changes like that when F1 entries are closed, you have to get a unanimous vote from the participants, but apparently some people don't like this idea."
