FIA has just released a new ruling that will reward the driver with the most race wins in a season with the world title.
In a dramatic move less than three weeks before the start of the new season, the International Automobile Association (FIA) has opted to change the format, which, if used in 2008, would have seen Felipe Massa crowned champion.
The governing body's World Motor Sport Council has agreed to the proposal put forward by Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Management.
The allocation of points will remain the same as last year's 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 sequence.
The rest of the standings, from second to last place, will also be decided by the current points system with the constructors' championship unaffected.
"If two or more drivers finish the season with the same number of wins, the title will be awarded to the driver with the most points," the FIA said in a statement.
