In Formula 1 racing, the sprint race format awards points to the top finishers. Specifically, the driver who finishes first in the sprint race receives 8 points, second place gets 7 points, third place earns 6 points, and this continues down to eighth place, which gets 1 point. This system is designed to add excitement and competitiveness to the race weekend, encouraging drivers to push hard even in shorter events. The points contribute to both the drivers\“ and constructors\“ championships, making every position crucial for the overall standings. |
