Paris, Mar 18: 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 allocation of points being based on the current 10, 8, 6 etc. system., said Formula One chiefs on Tuesday, Mar 17.

Championship title of this will be awarded to the driver who wins the most races, and not he who collects most points, they opined.
