Bernie Ecclestone, the former boss of Formula 1, explains that with the recent Grand Prix cancellations, there will not be enough races to crown a world champion "normally". While the rules stipulate that a minimum of eight races must be run to crown a world champion, Ecclestone thinks that this will not be possible: "We should stop this season and start again next year, because I do not see how it could be possible to have a correct number of races for the championship. He told BBC Radio Five Live .
If the world championships were held and Lewis Hamilton won them, he would equal Michael Schumacher's title record (7). "I don't think it will make a big difference for Lewis," said Ecclestone. He would win regardless of the number of races. If the championship takes place and he wins, he would break the record. But it would be terrible if they won only on eight races. It would not be a great championship. "
