The Fan-F1 rankings after the Japan GP

There is indeed an official ranking in Formula 1 that allocates points according to the importance of the positions achieved, with a descending scale of two for the top three places. 10 points for the winner, 8 for the second place, and 6 for the third.

This scale only rewards drivers who finish in the top eight; drivers who consistently finish in the top 10 (9th and 10th, for example) are never acknowledged even though this position is almost as important as an eighth position, which usually awards a point.

To rectify the situation, casinoenlignefrance.eu.com invents the consistency ranking: Each driver receives a point based on their reverse order of finishing, provided they have crossed the checkered flag. In case of retirement, they receive no points. The first receives 22 points, the second 21, the third 20, and so on. The 22nd, if there is one, will therefore earn just one point.

In the end, we obtain a ranking based on the finishing position of each race, showing the consistency of each participant and allowing the driver to be rewarded for the work they provide within the team and not solely based on their position.
