It made little difference to the overall result, as he was well clear of Bruce McLaren and had a number of fastest laps himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This point was instead redistributed throughout the field. Until that point, points were only awarded to the top five drivers in a race (eight of them to the winner) and only the best four or five race results counted for the championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time in 1960, points were awarded to the top six, and in 1961 the winner was awarded nine points. Those points were rounded up to 10 in 1991, but the six places in which the winner is awarded points remained the case for more than 40 years, until a revamp in 2002 extended that to eight and another in 2010 made it the top 10, when the winner became 25 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2026-Formula-1-Standings-Results-%E2%80%93-FAQs\"><\/span>2026 Formula 1 Standings &amp; Results &#8211; FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-the-F1-drivers-championship\"><\/span>What is the F1 driver&#8217;s championship?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThe F1 driver&#8217;s championship is awarded to the driver who scores the most points in a given F1 season.
