F1pisteytystä

F1pisteytystä is a term used in Formula 1 to describe the practice of collecting points throughout a racing season. The Formula 1 World Championship is decided by a points system awarded to drivers and constructors at each Grand Prix. The top ten finishers in each race receive points on a descending scale, with the winner receiving 25 points, the second-place finisher 18, and so on, down to one point for the tenth-place finisher.

These points are accumulated over the course of the entire season. At the end of the final race, the driver and constructor with the highest total number of points are crowned World Champions. The points system has undergone several changes throughout Formula 1's history, with adjustments made to the number of points awarded and the positions that receive them. The current system aims to reward consistent performance and victories.

In addition to the standard race points, a bonus point is awarded to the driver who achieves the fastest lap of the race, provided they finish in the top ten. This adds another layer of strategy and incentive for drivers to push their cars to the limit. Constructors' points are awarded based on the combined points scored by both of their drivers in each race. This encourages teams to develop both cars and drivers effectively to maximize their championship potential. The F1pisteytystä system is a fundamental aspect of the sport, driving competition and determining the ultimate winners.
