Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher was “astonished” by Formula One’s decision to alter the way the world championship is decided on the eve of the new season.
The former Ferrari driver said Thursday on his Web site that the championship was wide open with many “question marks before the first races.” The season begins on March 29 at the Australian Grand Prix.
Governing body FIA decided Tuesday that the championship will be given to the driver with the most victories rather than the most accumulated points.
“But this is what makes the whole thing so attractive, isn’t it? I doubt the same goes for the new rules given out on such a late moment prior to the season— something which to me is really, well, astonishing,” Schumacher wrote.
