Berlin - Formula One is set to do away with the controversial double points rule for the season-ending race after just one year, and a standing start after safety car phases will not be introduced, news reports said Wednesday.
Autosport.com and Germany's auto, motor und sport said online that that the sport's Strategy Group and F1 Commission agreed at meetings this week in Geneva to ditch both rules for 2015.
The final saying is with the World Motor Sport Council of the ruling body FIA which meets in Doha next week.
Double points for the last race was initiated last year by F1
boss Bernie Ecclestone to make the sport more interesting until the end of the season after Sebastian Vettel ran away with the title in 2011 and 2013.
It was unpopular with fans and teams but did not affect the 2014 title race in which Lewis Hamilton beat Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg for a second career title on Sunday.
A standing restart after a safety car phase was initiated by the F1 Commission but is now ditched again before being implemented after further talks, reportedly over safety concerns.
The reports also said that a radio ban at races would remain in its current form next year and not be tightened as originally planned.
