DOHA, Qatar - Formula One is scrapping its rule to award double points to the winner of the final race of the season and has reviewed its safety procedures in the light of French driver Jules Bianchis life-threatening crash at the Japanese Grand Prix.The decision was ratified Wednesday at a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council, when South Korea was provisionally added to a 21-race calendar for the 2015 season. It is scheduled to stage a grand prix on May 3, subject to approval.F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone introduced double points for the season-ending race to attract big television audiences through to the final grand prix and prolong the suspense in the drivers championship.However, it was widely criticized by drivers.F1 champion Lewis Hamilton could have lost the championship because of the double-points rule if Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg had won at the season-ending Abu Dhabi GP last month and if Hamilton had finished third.Wednesdays meeting was also given the results of an investigation carried out by a 10-man panel into Bianchis crash at Suzuka on Oct. 5.The accident happened in rainy, gloomy conditions when Bianchis car slid off the track and ploughed into a crane picking up the Sauber of German driver Adrian Sutil, who crashed at the same spot one lap earlier.The section of the track where the accident occurred was subject to double yellow flags from race stewards, due to Sutils crash. But they failed to prevent a second accident.The panel found that as he went off track into the run-off area, Bianchi applied both throttle and brake together, using both feet and thus over-riding the failsafe mechanism. His front wheels had also locked.It also said that Bianchi did not slow sufficiently to avoid losing control.The 25-year-old Bianchi suffered life-threatening head injuries, but has recently been showing signs of recovery. Two weeks ago, he was taken out of an artificial coma and repatriated from Japan to a French hospital. Although still in a critical condition, he was breathing unaided.The accident led to a new safety measure being approved Wednesday in the form of a virtual safety car which can be used to neutralize a race on the orders of a course clerk. The pit lane exit will then be closed and all cars must proceed slowly into the pit lane, and not the starting grid.Following the accident, ideas of a closed cockpit to protect a drivers head, and the fitting of wide safety skirts to the crane, were suggested. Both were rejected by the panel.It is considered fundamentally wrong to try and make an impact between a racing car and a large and heavy vehicle survivable, it said. It is imperative to prevent a car ever hitting the crane.Bianchi and Sutils racing lines were narrowed due to water draining onto the track and flowing downhill along it. The panel recommended that the F1 calendar be reviewed to avoid, where possible, races taking place during local rainy seasons. Alonzo Mourning Jersey .

Hamilton, the 2008 champion, started sixth on the grid. The British driver leapt to fourth on the opening lap before it was red-flagged, and suspended for an hour, following a crash involving 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari and Felipe Massa of Williams. Hamilton then took the lead after 29 laps as Rosberg retired with gearbox failure. Hamilton came home 30 seconds clear of Finn Valtteri Bottas of Williams, who started 14th. Australian Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull finished third ahead of Jenson Button, the 2009 champion, of McLaren and defending four-time champion Sebastian Vettel in the second Red Bull. Two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Ferrari was sixth. It was Hamiltons fifth win this year, his second in his home event and the 27th of his career, drawing him level with fellow-Briton and three-time champion Jackie Stewart in the record books. "England! What a great feeling guys, I couldnt be happier, Im sorry about yesterday, but a fantastic job today, as ever!" a delighted Hamilton told his team by radio. Hamilton made a mistake in qualifying on Saturdaay after wrongly deciding the track was too damp, or wet, for him to improve his best lap time.dddddddddddd From the winners podium, Hamilton added: "This shows you never give up! Right now, its very mixed emotions at the moment, but we have the greatest fans here. It was you guys who spurred me on. At the beginning, I allowed him (Rosberg) to get a good gap and look after the tires. "But we came out on the harder tire and could not believe I had that kind of pace. I dont want to see a team-mate fail, I want a one-two, but I really needed this result." Raikkonen was involved in a spectacular high-speed opening lap accident that halted the race for an hour to allow repairs to the barriers. The Ferrari driver lost control, spun, hit the barriers and collided with the Williams of Brazilian Massa, who was starting his 200th Grand Prix. Both escaped serious injury but Raikkonen, whose car was massively damaged, limped away and required later X-rays on his right ankle. Massa was forced out with a damaged car, but like Rosberg, stayed to cheer the teams at the end of the race. Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen finished seventh for McLaren ahead of German Nico Hulkenberg of Force India, Russian rookie Daniil Kvyat of Toro Rosso and 10th-placed Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne in the second Toro Rosso.
