SCORING SYSTEM EXPLAINED

Drivers are rated for their performance through the whole weekend, with the focus on qualifying and the race.

10 Exceptional performance, maximising the result and excelling, either through overturning a major obstacle or dominance over rivals.

9 Outstanding performance, but without quite reaching the heights required for a maximum score.

8 Very good performance with no major errors and a final result that, relative to circumstances, reflected the car’s pace.

7 Good performance, perhaps one that’s a little inconsistent in some aspects or without extracting the maximum from the car but still yields a reasonable result.

6 Solid performance but without getting the most out of the car or nailing it when it really mattered.

5 Patchy performance, not necessarily off the pace but failing to string together the weekend well and coming away short of a good result.

4 Disappointing performance, failing to get close to the maximum of the car and making mistakes at key moments.

3 Poor performance, either through struggling to get the most out of the car or falling short through a massive error.

2 Very poor performance, with mediocre pace and mistakes adding up to a wasted weekend.

1 Terrible. A performance with no redeeming features.
