Seasons/11 races

1958 season

  • Dropped scores
  • Title decided in round 11

‹ 19571959 ›

Points: 8-6-4-3-2 for the top five, plus one for the fastest lap. Only the best 6 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 11: Moroccan Grand Prix on 19 Oct 1958.

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