How are points awarded?
In Formula 1, points are awarded to the top ten finishers in a Grand Prix, with 25 points for first place, 18 for second, and so on. This system means consistent performance across the season is key, as seen with championship leader Kimi Antonelli, where every race result contributes to the overall standings.
