A Formula One win has paid 25 since 2010

The top ten score, from 25 down to a single point for tenth place Before 2010 the winner took 10 points, and the scale was changed to reward winning more heavily and to spread points further down the field. A bonus point for fastest lap existed between 2019 and 2024 and was dropped for 2025. Sprint weekends use a separate scale of eight points down to one. It sits in Mondo's sports collection, one of 200 facts that each trace back to the reference below.
