The details: Scoring System and Historical Champions
Formula 1 awards points to the top ten finishers in a Grand Prix: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. An additional bonus point is given for the fastest lap, provided the driver finishes in the top ten. For drivers who do not score points, their ranking is determined by their highest finishing positions, meaning a driver with more 11th-place finishes will rank higher than another with zero points. In the Constructors' Championship, the points accumulated by both drivers from the same team are combined to determine their standing.
Throughout F1 history, legendary names have etched their marks. Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton lead the Drivers' Championship with seven titles each, followed by Juan Manuel Fangio with five, and Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost with four apiece. Max Verstappen has also recently joined the four-time champion club.
In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari holds the most titles with 16, followed by Williams and McLaren, each with nine. Mercedes has secured eight titles, while Lotus has seven, and Red Bull has six.
What's next:
With only two races remaining, the battle for both the Drivers' and Constructors' titles is set to reach a thrilling crescendo. The next Grand Prix will be critical for Norris, Piastri, and Verstappen as they vie for championship glory. McLaren's current lead in both championships puts them in a strong position, but F1 has a way of delivering unexpected twists. The focus will be on who can manage the pressure best and deliver consistent performance in the final two rounds of what has been a truly remarkable season.
