How the Points System Works (2025)
Race
In 2025, the Formula 1 points system continues to reward consistency and race-winning performance. Points are awarded to the top 10 finishers in each Grand Prix as follows:
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 25 |
| 2nd | 18 |
| 3rd | 15 |
| 4th | 12 |
| 5th | 10 |
| 6th | 8 |
| 7th | 6 |
| 8th | 4 |
| 9th | 2 |
| 10th | 1 |
Sprint
In addition to full-length races, several weekends feature Sprint races, shorter contests held on Saturdays that can reshape the grid and the championship picture. The top eight finishers in a Sprint earn the following points:
| Sprint Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 8 |
| 2nd | 7 |
| 3rd | 6 |
| 4th | 5 |
| 5th | 4 |
| 6th | 3 |
| 7th | 2 |
| 8th | 1 |
Tie-Breakers & Ranking Rules
When two drivers or teams end up with equal points, F1 uses a countback system:
- First, the number of wins is compared.
- If still tied, the number of second-place finishes, then third-place finishes, and so on, determines ranking.
- In rare cases, the FIA may review additional metrics or incidents.
This ensures that outright race victories carry the greatest weight in the championship battle.
Key Observations & Battles
As of the latest update, Oscar Piastri leads the championship with a narrow margin over his teammate, Lando Norris. The midfield constructor fight is equally fierce, with only a few points separating positions 6th through 8th. These shifts highlight how a single strong weekend—or a costly mistake—can dramatically change the championship picture.
