Dec.1 (GMM) Formula one teams will discuss Bernie Ecclestone's 'medals' scoring system for the first time this week, according to BMW-Sauber chief Mario Theissen.
The German said Ecclestone, who insists the new system will be in place for 2009 having achieved the support of the teams, had been premature in his declarations.
"(This week) will be the first time this topic has been discussed by the teams at all," he told reporters at BMW's end of season party in Munich, referring to the forthcoming meeting of the FOTA alliance.
Theissen said there is a chance the proposal will be supported, but indicated there are arguments "for and against" its merits.
More likely to gain the support of teams is a shake-up for the qualifying system, including a possible point for pole position.
