Seasons/8 races

1957 season

  • Dropped scores
  • Title decided in round 6

‹ 19561958 ›

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 6: German Grand Prix on 4 Aug 1957.

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.

Scored 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for the top ten, no fastest-lap point, every result counted.

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 – 13 drivers are affected. A calculation, not a rewriting of history – drivers would have raced differently if different points had been at stake.
