Championship standings

Scoring system

Every driver taking part in qualifying or in one of the two races of a weekend and setting a time will be awarded five points.[14]

Qualifying points

Each qualifying session will award one point to the fastest driver. Afterwards, the five fastest drivers will take part in the "super qualifying" session, each setting one lap to set the top five positions. These five drivers will also be awarded points, provided they set a lap:[14]

Position in qualifying 1st
Points 1
Position in super qualifying 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Points 5 4 3 2 1

Race points

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th 
Points 25 20 17 15 13 11 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The worst weekend points-wise of each driver will be dropped. Rounds where a driver was excluded or disqualified from a race will not be allowed to be dropped.
