64 Different WDC, No Multiple WDCs 1950-2013

[Jocke1]

This might have been done before?, I don't know.
But I had a crack at how the history of F1 would look if there were no multiple World Drivers Champions.
If there had been a rule in place that a driver who had been crowned WDC once, wasn't allowed to repeat the feat
even though he finished first in the points standings.

A similar concept has been done before, but the points were redistributed amongst the remaining drivers, and the results were slightly different...

Anyways, great to see Boutsen and Hülkenberg champions. Also, Cevert's title is technically not posthumous, as his lead over Revson going into Watkins Glen was 11 points, so he was already champion before he died

[James1978]

Most likely Ricciardo for this year.

[Alextrax52]

Most likely Ricciardo for this year.

Looking that way
