We are the Data Dudes. 2 data enthusiasts who make timeline and time-series videos. In this video we have made a FANTASY time-lapse review of every single Formula 1 championship point scored by drivers but applying a points system from the modern era. We use a modern era points system to score every single Grand Prix from GP 1 - BRITAIN 1950 until GP 1079 - ABU DHABI 2022 (the most recent GP at the time of creation).
So… how exactly have we scored each GP? We have given the top 10 classified finishes in each race the following points for 1st place to 10th place: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1. Any races were less than 75% of the full distance was completed, we award half points. We also give the driver who has the officially recorded fastest lap an extra point but only if they finish the race classified within the top 10.
Therefore, this can be more or less considered the ruleset from the 2021 season.
Applying this ruleset: We do NOT apply sprint race points, nor do we award things like double points to special races as seen in ABU DHABI 2014. Our intention is to try and apply the easiest to understand ruleset whilst removing any advantages gained by one off rule changes, exceptions or recent additions such as said sprint race points or double points races. In short: a more even playing field with regards to points scoring at least. In the cases where podium steps or finishing positions are shared, we simply give both drivers the points, rather than trying to cope with fractional points, or assigning the points on “merit”. We understand there a lot of other ways to apply these rules, but we are trying to keep things as straightforward as possible.
