Despite proposed changes to the current scoring system in Formula One, race director Charlie Whiting has insisted the amendments have been rejected.

The change put forward by Liberty Media would have seen the top 15 drivers score points rather than the top 10 that currently leave a race with points towards the Drivers' Championship.

Speaking to Speed Week, Whiting revealed the plan was put to a vote and rejected by team bosses.

The outcome means F1 will persevere with only rewarding the top 10 with points on a 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 basis, as it has since 2010.

"If everyone had agreed it would have been introduced for 2019. But not everyone agreed," he said.

The points system has undergone numerous changes since the start of the world championship in 1950, which saw the top five awarded points on an 8-6-4-3-2 scale; an additional point awarded for the fastest lap.

The first amendment came in 1960, which diverted the point given for the fastest lap to the driver who finished in sixth position.

Most recently, a major overhaul took place in 2010, when the number of points given to the top positions was drastically increased, seeing the winner take home 25 points rather than the 10 they'd have taken away from the race previously.

Changes to the points system have been relatively few and far between, and the Formula One managing director of Motorsports Ross Brawn says any changes made will be long term.

"It would be an important decision, so if we changed it then it would remain for the next ten years or so," he said.

Despite adjustments to the points system ahead of next season being dismissed, one change which has recently been confirmed for the start of the 2020 season is an extension to the teams' curfew.

The curfew will be increased from eight hours to nine, meaning team members involved in the operations of the cars will have one hour fewer in the paddock overnight ahead of practice on Friday and Saturday
