Message: [QUOTE="Wombcat, post: 171755, member: 250"] It only worked that way until 1979 or 1980, 4 best results of each half of the season. After that it was the best 11 out of 16. I think the formula was half the races + 3, but I'm not sure about that. I have Heinz Prullers' Grand Prix Story of 1979, with Jones complaining about the rule, after his 3 wins in a row, but he was out of competition already, because he only scored 4 points in the first half. It was a really silly system that originated earlier in F1, when they didn't have that many races. I think the idea behind it was to make higher scores more important. [/QUOTE]
