how many points in f1

June 27, 2026

In Formula 1 right now, a full Grand Prix race has 25 points for a win, with points awarded down to 10th place on a 25–18–15–12–10–8–6–4–2–1 scale.

Main race: how many points?

In a full‑distance F1 Grand Prix (more than 75% of the scheduled laps completed), the top 10 finishers score:

1st: 25 points

2nd: 18 points

3rd: 15 points

4th: 12 points

5th: 10 points

6th: 8 points

7th: 6 points

8th: 4 points

9th: 2 points

10th: 1 point

From 2025 there is no extra point for fastest lap , so those are all the race points available in a normal Grand Prix.

Sprints and shortened races (quick overview)

Sprint races: separate, shorter races where the winner gets fewer points (with points stepping down to lower positions); they don’t use the 25–18–15… scale.

Shortened Grands Prix: if the race is red‑flagged early and not fully completed, F1 uses reduced scales such as 6‑4‑3‑2‑1, 13‑10‑8‑6‑5‑4‑3‑2‑1 or 19‑14‑12‑9‑8‑6‑5‑3‑2‑1 depending on what percentage of distance was completed.

If you tell me whether you care about just “how many points for a win” or want every sprint/shortened‑race table in HTML, I can lay those out too.
