Points: 9-6-4-3-2-1 for the top six. Only the best 11 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 15: Japanese Grand Prix on 22 Oct 1989.

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 8-6-4-3-2 for the top five, plus one for the fastest lap, every result counted.
