Points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis to the first six finishers in each race.
For classification, only the seven best results from the first eight races and the six best results from the last seven races were retained.
Drivers scoring an equal number of points were awarded equal championship classifications, regardless of the relative number of wins, second places, etc. scored by each driver.
The FIA did not award a championship classification to those drivers who did not score points in the championship.
