Formula 1 standings are updated after every Grand Prix and reflect the current rankings in the drivers’ or constructors’ championship. Drivers are ranked based on the number of points they earn during the season, with the top driver at the end of the year being declared champion.
Each team is awarded a certain amount of points for each race depending on where they finish, with the winner earning 25 points, second place getting 18 points, third place scoring 15 points, and so on. A new rule introduced in 2019 grants the driver with the fastest lap an extra point if they also finish within the top 10.
The season begins with qualifying and ends with the final race of the calendar, but you can keep track of all the action throughout the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship right here on this page. Click the F1 2025 season page to find all sorts of different takes on the upcoming GPs and standings, including a graph to see the season progression as well as a detailed table displaying results in both positions and points. You can also check out the teammate battles section to get an overview of head-to-head comparisons between teammates based on their race and quali performance this season.
Interestingly enough, a team’s total score can impact how much they have to pay to extend their FIA super license at the end of the season. For example, Red Bull scored so many points in 2023 that they had to pay a significant sum to retain their status as champions.
