F1 points are awarded to drivers and teams based on their results in each race. The driver who finishes first in a race is awarded 25 points, with the second-place driver earning 18 points, third-place 15, fourth- 12, and so on down to 10th place, which earns 1 point. In addition, the driver who sets the fastest lap in a race is awarded 1 point.
The points are then used to determine the standings in the drivers’ and constructors’ championships. The driver or team who has amassed the most points at the end of the season is crowned world champion. In recent years, the driver’s championship has been determined by a points system with 25 points for a win, 18 for a second, 15 for a third, and so on. The constructor’s championship is also decided by a points system, but with 20 points awarded for a win, 16 for a second, 13 for a third, and so on.
Points are also awarded to drivers and teams for taking part in qualifying and for finishing in the top 10 in a race. Qualifying points are awarded to the top 10 drivers who take part in qualifying, with 3 points going to the driver who sets the fastest lap, 2 points to the second-fastest driver, and 1 point to the third-fastest driver. These points are added to the drivers’ and teams’ totals in the championship standings.
The number of points awarded in a race can vary depending on the number of cars that finish the race. If more than 75% of the cars that started the race are classified as finishers, then all drivers who finish the race are awarded points. However, if fewer than 75% of the cars that started the race are classified as finishers, then only the drivers who finish in the top 10 are awarded points.
In addition to the points that are awarded for results in races and qualifying, there are also points awarded for pole position and leading laps during a race. The driver who sets the fastest lap in qualifying is awarded 1 point, and the driver who leads the most laps in a race is also awarded 1 point. These points are added to the drivers’ and teams’ totals in the championship standings.
The points system used in Formula One racing has been revised several times since it was first introduced in 1950. The current points system was introduced in 2010 and has remained unchanged since then.
