Damon Hill in favor of double points in F1

Damon Hill stands out from most of the comments made regarding the double points at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the last event of the 2014 season contested on November 23. This novelty has received numerous criticisms pointing out the “artificial” nature of such a measure aimed solely at prolonging the suspense in the Championship, even if it means destroying part of the competitive spirit.

However, Damon Hill is one of the few defenders of the new points scale. The old pilot Williams considers that the spectacle is above all a priority. “Things are going to get unpredictable with double points for the last race of the season. This will make things exciting”, commented the Briton in The Times of India. “I've heard a lot of people say it's stupid, but why wouldn't it be a good idea? She may be superb. The Championship will be contested until its end this time. Anything that can increase the chances of competition is a good thing. The greater the uncertainty, the more interesting it becomes. »
