Scoring system

Points were awarded to the top ten classified drivers, the driver who set the fastest lap during the Grand Prix (only if one of the top ten), and the top eight of the sprint.^[e] In the case of a tie on points a countback system was used where the driver with the most Grand Prix wins was ranked higher. If the number of wins was identical then the number of second places was considered, and so on. The points were awarded for every race using the following system.

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	FL
Race	25	18	15	12	10	8	6	4	2	1	1
