F1 points system: How are points awarded in F1?

F1 is the most well-known motorsport in the world, with a fanbase that grows with each passing year.

At Grands Prix, a points system is used to determine two annual World Championships: one for drivers and one for constructors.

For finishing in the top ten, the drivers are given a specific number. There are 20 drivers on the grid so each team has two drivers.

Only 10 receive points during the race, leaving the other half empty-handed. These points assist drivers and teams in winning the championship.

The total number of points collected by a driver over a season is compared to the other drivers, and the driver with the most points wins the driver’s championship.

As a result, the points earned by a driver duo are totalled under their team’s name, and the team with the most points are awarded the constructor titles.

Since the world championship began in 1950, the F1 point system has undergone numerous changes. According to the most recent regulations, the race winner receives 25 points, while the P10 finisher receives only one point.
