2014 Sporting Regulations
2014 ran 19 rounds. The controversial double-points finale rule was introduced for Abu Dhabi (50-36-30-... scoring for the final race only), aiming to boost title-race uncertainty. It was applied only that season and scrapped for 2015. Standard-race points 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 otherwise. Hamilton took his second title.

Double-points finale (one-off)
The season finale in Abu Dhabi awarded double points — 50 for win, 36 for 2nd, 30 for 3rd, etc. The rule was universally criticised as arbitrary and retired after a single use. Hamilton won in Abu Dhabi regardless to seal the title.
