2008 Sporting Regulations
2008 ran 18 rounds. Points 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 for top 8. The Singapore GP — run at night for the first time — was the site of Nelson Piquet Jr's deliberate crash on team order to trigger a safety car that handed Alonso the win, a scandal ('Crashgate') that broke the following year and resulted in Flavio Briatore's ban and Pat Symonds's suspension.
