A fusion of speed, strategy and engineering excellence, Formula 1 is a global spectacle that challenges the world’s best drivers to push themselves – and their incredible, technologically-advanced machines – to their limits. Twenty drivers, two from each team, compete across a demanding calendar of races and shorter, preliminary events called Sprints. Each race counts toward their championship standings, which are calculated using a complex system that rewards consistent performances with an eye towards fairness and opportunities for underdogs.
F1 live rankings provide a real-time snapshot of the drivers and teams’ progress as they fight to dominate their respective categories, battling for supremacy in a sport where a fraction of a second can make all the difference. The immediacy of these rankings, coupled with the expert commentary that fuels them, connect fans worldwide to the drama unfolding on track and inspires passions, predictions and anticipation for 2025 and beyond.
Drivers earn points for their performance in each completed Grand Prix, with the top ten scoring 25 points and the winner earning 50. Teams, meanwhile, battle for the historic FIA Formula One World Constructors Championship trophy. This is calculated by adding the total number of points scored by both of a team’s cars, with wins ranking higher than third-place finishes and so on. Dead heats happen fairly often – though they’ve never been enough to decide the title itself – and when they do occur, the team with more first place finishes is awarded the higher position.
