1952 Formula One Season - 1952 Drivers Championship Final Standings

1952 Drivers Championship Final Standings

Points were given to top five finishers (8, 6, 4, 3, 2). One point was given for fastest lap. Only the best four of eight scores counted towards the world championship. Points for shared drives were divided equally between the drivers, regardless of who had driven more laps. In 1952, all World Championship events, save the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, were run under Formula 2 regulations.

Famous quotes containing the word final:

“The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
