[edit] Scoring system
Unlike the modern Formula One points system, the championship awarded fewer points for higher finishes; the champion would be the manufacturer which ended the season on the lowest points score. A manufacturer would only score points from its highest-placed car. The points distribution is as follows.
Position | Points |
---|---|
1st | 1 |
2nd | 2 |
3rd | 3 |
All other finishers | 4 |
All non-finishers | 5 |
Not starting | 6 |
In order to be eligible for the championship, manufacturers had to compete in the Italian Grand Prix and the Grand Prix of their country of origin.
