    The fight for second

    Sources and method

    Results, standings and the calendar come from the Jolpica F1 API, the community-run successor to the Ergast API. The page carries a snapshot taken on , after round , and asks the API for anything newer when it opens, so it keeps up through the last races by itself.

    Points: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 for a Grand Prix, and 8 down to 1 for a sprint. There has been no point for the fastest lap since 2025.

    Drivers level on points are split by Grand Prix wins, then second places, and so on down. Sprints don't count for that. If even that can't split them, the FIA decides.

    A driver is still in it if winning every race left, with nobody else scoring, would put him first. The conditions for the next race and what each driver needs come from the same sums.

    The simulator moves only the top six. Everyone else keeps today's points. "Roll the dice" and the odds for second draw every driver's finish in each race from his own Grand Prix results this season (a retirement counts as last) and sort the draws into a result. 10,000 such run-ins give the odds. It knows nothing about cars, circuits or upgrades, so treat it as a rough guide.

    Circuit outlines: f1-circuits by Tomislav Bacinger (MIT licence), drawn at one scale with north up. The cars all lap at the same speed, so a longer track takes longer.

    The youngest champion so far is Sebastian Vettel, 23 years and 134 days old when he won in 2010. Italy's last champion was Alberto Ascari, in 1952 and 1953.

    Team colours only tell the drivers apart. Team-mates share one, the lower-placed in a paler shade.
