F1: FIA complicates the rules for beginners

From 2016 to get a superlicense by the FIA, which gives the pilot the right to speak in Formula 1, will become even more difficult. The relevant amendments to the rules published on the website of the Federation; the main new features are point system and the lower strap of the age of 18 years. Commentators note that 17-year-old Max Verstappen (pictured above, will be speaking this year at Toro Rosso) managed to slip at the last moment: under the new rules he would be left without the required document.
The points system looks cumbersome: points are awarded according to a complex scheme (see below) pilots who won one of the prizes in selected FIA Championships. The pass mark is 40 points, need to dial in 3 years preceding the time of application for a superlicense. It is interesting to note that the pride of place in the list includes not even functioning at the moment, Formula 2, rumors about the revival of which go a long time.


The applicant also passes in F1 will now require a valid driver's license commercial pattern, and in their absence — passing theoretical and practical exams. However, we must assume that the athletes are able to drive 300 miles in a Formula 1 race car (this requirement remains unchanged), will not be difficult to meet these requirements of the FIA.
The meaning of the reform is clear: to reduce the influx weak in F1 paid pilots, are remarkable only for sponsorship support, and thus increase the overall level of racing. However, the formulae veteran David Coulthard believes that the new rules should be applied selectively and flexibly, and truly talented newcomer deserves some relief... what do you think?
