Formula 1 Drivers' Championship Points 2025
About This Dataset
Formula 1 Drivers' Championship Points 2025How the data is collected. Jolpica is an open-source API that follows the format of the older Ergast service, and it publishes the championship table for the season as an endpoint. This chart checks that table against the results themselves: adding up each driver's Grand Prix and sprint points reproduces all twenty-one totals exactly. A win in a Grand Prix scores 25 points and a win in a sprint 8.
Background. The 2025 calendar had twenty-four Grands Prix, and six of them included a sprint: the Chinese, Miami, Belgian, United States, São Paulo and Qatar Grands Prix. Points went to the top ten in a Grand Prix and the top eight in a sprint, and the extra point for the fastest lap, brought back in 2019, was abolished for 2025. Norris, Verstappen and Piastri all reached the final round in Abu Dhabi with a chance of the title, after Verstappen had cut a gap of 104 points to 12.
Limits. Points are a measure of results, not of speed. Six results were disqualifications and scored nothing: Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly in China, Nico Hülkenberg in Bahrain, and Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in Las Vegas. The points totals of all twenty-one drivers agree with the championship table on Wikipedia's page for the season.
The first three drivers finished within 13 points of each other, 423, 421 and 410, and the next best, George Russell on 319, was 91 points behind Piastri. Together the top three scored 1,254 of the 2,640 points shared by the nineteen scorers, or 47.5 per cent. Verstappen won the most races, 8 to 7 for Norris, and also scored the most sprint points, 32, yet finished second. Lewis Hamilton was sixth on 156 without a Grand Prix podium, and seven drivers finished on fewer than 50 points.
