HONDA The Power of Dreams

Drivers and teams (constructors) are awarded championship points based on race results, which determine the season champions and overall rankings. In the past, a “best results only” system was used, but today all points scored across the season are added in full to decide both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ standings.

- Championship Points

	>=75%	>=50%	>=25%	>=2L
1st	25	19	13	6
2nd	18	14	10	4
3rd	15	12	8	3
4th	12	10	6	2
5th	10	8	5	1
6th	8	6	4
7th	6	4	3
8th	4	3	2
9th	2	2	1
10th	1	1

Championship Points allocation depends on the percentage of scheduled race distance completed. If a race is shortened due to weather or incidents, points are reduced accordingly. Points are awarded under four distance thresholds: ≥75%, ≥50%, ≥25%, and ≥2 laps

Sprint races also award championship points.

	>=50%
1st	8
2nd	7
3rd	6
4位	5
5位	4
6位	3
7位	2
8位	1

If the Sprint race distance is less than 50%, no points are awarded.

In the Grand Prix race, one additional point is awarded to a driver who sets the fastest lap, provided the driver finishes within the top 10. This rule does not apply to Sprint races.

The Drivers’ Championship is decided by the total points scored by each driver over the season. The Constructors’ Championship is decided by the combined points scored by a team’s two drivers.

While both drivers and teams compete to win the championship titles, championship rankings also have significant practical implications. The Constructors’ Championship standings directly affect the distribution of revenues from Formula One Management (FOM) and have a major influence on sponsor acquisition and sponsorship value. Drivers’ Championship standings impact a driver’s reputation and evaluation, and are reflected in performance bonuses and future contract terms.

In addition, Super Licence renewal fees are calculated based on championship ranking, with higher-ranked drivers subject to higher fees.
