How does F1 scoring work?
Formula One awards points to the top ten finishers in each Grand Prix, with the winner receiving the most. Over a season, these points accumulate to determine the Drivers' World Champion. Hamilton's 76-point deficit with 10 races left means he can't mathematically catch Antonelli, even if he won every remaining race and Antonelli scored nothing, making the title unattainable.
