1958

For the 1958 season, points were awarded 8 for the winner, then 6-4-3-2 in descending order through fifth place, plus one for the fastest lap.  The best six of eleven race scores counted towards the championship.  Points for a shared drive were divided equally among the drivers.

The British dominated the Drivers' Championship by sweeping the top 5 spots, as well as 9th place for a total of 6 out of the top 10.  Britons accounted for 150 out of 252 points scored in the 1958 season, or 59.5%.  However, the most prominent position, 1958 Drivers' Champion, was Mike Hawthorn.
