This is the fifth different points system used in Formula One racing, as detailed on the page All Points Systems.
The page Drivers-Comparison evidences, in turn, the difference that the new points system and the no team orders rule (both to be effective in 2003) would have made in the results of the 2002 Drivers' Championship.
