What is List of Formula One World Championship points scoring systems?
[[File:Michael Schumacher Ferrari 2004.jpg|thumb|right|220px|In [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], [[Michael Schumacher]] scored 144 from a maximum of 170 Championship points. <br />(2004 car pictured)]] This is a '''Formula One World Championship scoring system''' used by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (FIA). The FIA uses this system to decide the FIA World [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|Drivers']] and [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|Constructors']] Championships since the {{F1|1950}} season. The Championships are awarded to the driver and constructor (car builder) who score the most points over the course of the season. From {{F1|1950}} through {{F1|1959}}, a championship point was awarded to the driver (and team starting in {{F1|1958}}) that set the [[fastest lap]]. In some seasons, not all race results would be counted towards the World Championship. Only a certain number of a driver's best results would count. In {{F1|1988}} this caused a very unusual result. [[Alain Prost]] and [[Ayrton Senna]] were the drivers for [[Team McLaren|McLaren]]. They were the best two drivers of that year. There were 16 races that year, but only the best 11 results counted towards the championship. Prost won seven races and finished seven races in second place. He scored a total of 105 points, but only 87 of them counted for the championship. Senna won eight races and finished second in three, giving him 90 points for the championship and 94 for the season. This resulted in the strange event where Prost took a record number of points, yet Senna won the champion. A new system counting all races was introduced in {{F1|1991}}. One additional point was also awarded to the race winner. The current system was introduced for the {{F1|2010}} season. It was designed to allow more teams and drivers to score points. The most dominant Drivers' Champion in terms of points scored is [[Jim Clark]]. Clark scored the maximum of 54 points (6 wins) in both [[1963 Formula One season|1963]]
