1960 season

  • Dropped scores
  • Title decided in round 8

‹ 19591961 ›

Points: 8-6-4-3-2-1 for the top six. 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 8: Portuguese Grand Prix on 14 Aug 1960.

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