The 2010 Formula One season is the 61st Formula One season. The season’s first race was held on March 14 in Bahrain, whereas the last race will be held in Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit, both of them in the GCC, very close to Dubai.
Driven by desire to push into new markets — primarily in the Middle East — the sport is witnessing a boom in track construction and investment. The greatest spending spree has been in the Middle East, where an estimated $11.3 billion has been spent on motor sports in the past five years.
This is also a signal of a changing global economic asset.
A new points system has been ratified for 2010, in response to the increased grid. Since 2003, points had been awarded to the top eight finishers: ten points for first, eight for second, six for third and all the way down to one for eighth place. The 2010 system is as follows:
