Rules for F1PTS Point System
F1PTS.com introduces a new granular F1 points ranking system where every position gained matters. The top 10 best event results of the season are counted. More stats are coming soon. Stay tuned for in-depth performance analysis, as well as driver and team insights.
General Rules:
- Points are awarded for qualifying, races, sprints, and fastest laps.
- Only a driver's and team's 10 best event results are counted.
- Results for every session are based on official classifications, except for drivers who did not finish (their result will still be counted).
- The maximum points a driver can earn in a season is 1000 PTS. This can be achieved with 10 perfect races—winning the race, securing pole position, and setting the fastest lap. In a sprint event, additional points can be earned by winning both the sprint and qualifying.
- Theoretically, two drivers can have 1000 PTS at the end of the season. In that case, the tie-breaker is the points from the next best non-counted races.
Event Classification:
- Events are categorized as either:
- Classic Event: Qualifying, Race
- Sprint Event: Sprint Qualifying, Sprint, Race Qualifying, Race
Scoring System:
- The maximum possible points for a driver in a Classic or Sprint Event (Race 2/3 + Sprint 1/3) is 100 points.
- Points are awarded in the following sessions:
- Qualifying
- Race
- Race Fastest Lap
- Sprint Qualifying
- Sprint
- Points for Race/Sprint sessions are awarded only if the driver started the Race/Sprint.
- Points for Qualifying sessions are awarded only if the driver was classified in Q1.
Special Cases:
- Example 1: Bearman did not take part in Q1 due to a crash in free practice → 0 PTS for Qualifying.
- Example 2: Hadjar did not start the Australian GP due to a crash on the formation lap → 0 PTS for Race.
- Disqualified drivers receive 0 points.
Season phases:
only the top 10 results from the season are considered
- Hardvesting Race 1-10 – Every point counts.
- Fixing Race 12-20 - Poor results will be eliminated.
- Tunning Race 21-24 - Fine fixing.
