F1 to go ahead with plan to award doubles points at season's last race in 2014

Formula One will reportedly go ahead with its plan to award double points at the last race of the season in 2014.

The proposal was the idea of F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone, who thinks that it will help keep the championship alive for as long as possible after Red Bull ace Sebastian Vettel's dominance of the sport for the last four years.

According to the BBC, however, one leading team boss, said that 'most participants would agree to ditch' the points proposal if they were given the chance and claimed that Ecclestone and the FIA, which governs the sport, had 'completely misjudged the predictable negative response from the public'.

Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo also said last month that he was 'not enthusiastic' about the plan as he felt it is 'too artificial', although the report mentioned that none of the teams chose to make a major issue of the plan at the meeting, probably because they felt it was not worth falling out with Ecclestone over.

Team bosses also discussed the introduction of a cost-cap in 2015, the report added.
