There was a meeting of formula one Governing body today. As a result there were some major changes made. One of the most critical was that the Formula One Championship will be decided based on the number of wins, and not as it used to be based on a point system. If the new method had been in place last year, the Ferrari driver Felipe Massa would have been the 2008 champion as he won six races compared to the 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton who won only five races.
The article I read was a little confusing, as the point system has not completely gone away. In case of a tie the point system will be used. It will also be used for ranking all of the other drivers after the champion. This organization makes nothing easy.
There is a proposed cap of $42 million per year per team. Not sure if this one will pass or not. The governing body also accepted the new Brawn team's purchase of the Honda racing team, and allowed the new team to compete without the normal entry fee.
A couple of other major announcements were made. One was that the teams could have eight one-day aerodynamic tests during the course of the season instead of the former total ban on in-season testing.
