Formula 1's points scoring system is likely to be radically changed next season under a new scheme proposed by the sport's bosses.
At the moment, the top eight finishers earn 10, eight, six, five, four, three, two and one point respectively.
The new proposal will see the winner take 25 points, 20 for second place, 15 for coming third and then 10, eight, six, five, three, two and one points.
It should be rubber-stamped by the World Motor Sport Council on Friday.
The plan to change the scoring system came from the FIA's F1 Commission, which is made up of key stakeholders from the teams, promoters, suppliers and sponsors, and chaired by president Bernie Ecclestone.
Last season Ecclestone tried to introduce a medals system, with the championship being decided by race victories rather than cumulative points, but the idea was shelved after receiving an unenthusiastic reception.
Under the medals system Felipe Massa would have beaten Lewis Hamilton to the 2008 world championship, but the Brazilian said it was not the correct way to decide the title.
The 2010 season will feature 13 teams, three more than in recent seasons.
A strong mandate has also been given to the Sporting Working Group, a sub-committee of the F1 Commission made up of the FIA and F1 teams, to develop detailed proposals to improve the show which will take effect from next year.
