Points: 8-6-4-3-2 for the top five, plus one for the fastest lap. Only the best 5 results counted towards the championship.
In this season not every result counted towards the championship: only a driver's best races went into the standings, the rest were dropped. The championship standings therefore sit below the sum of the points scored in races.
The title was decided in round 8: Italian Grand Prix on 2 Sept 1956.

Entries
Who entered with which car, engine and tyres. The entrant is the organisation that entered the car – not always the team that built it.
What if – other points systems
The same finishing positions, scored under any points system used since 1950, with or without the dropped-scores rule of the time.
The system in force at the time, but every result counts – nothing dropped.
The World Champion would be the same.

Amber: the position differs from the official result. In this season drivers shared a car. The points for a shared position are split, just as the era itself split them – 11 drivers are affected. A calculation, not a rewriting of history – drivers would have raced differently if different points had been at stake.

Amber: the position differs from the official result. In this season drivers shared a car. The points for a shared position are split, just as the era itself split them – 15 drivers are affected. A calculation, not a rewriting of history – drivers would have raced differently if different points had been at stake.
