Formula 1 - All Time Drivers' Points using the 25 Pts and Fastest Lap Scoring System

- We are the Data Dudes. 2 data enthusiasts who make timeline and time-series videos. In this video we have made a FANTASY time-lapse review of every single Formula 1 championship point scored by drivers but applying a points system from the modern era. We use a modern era points system to score every single Grand Prix from GP 1 - BRITAIN 1950 until GP 1079 - ABU DHABI 2022 (the most recent GP at the time of creation).
So… how exactly have we scored each GP? We have given the top 10 classified finishes in each race the following points for 1st place to 10th place: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1. Any races were less than 75% of the full distance was completed, we award half points. We also give the driver who has the officially recorded fastest lap an extra point but only if they finish the race classified within the top 10.
Therefore, this can be more or less considered the ruleset from the 2021 season.
Applying this ruleset: We do NOT apply sprint race points, nor do we award things like double points to special races as seen in ABU DHABI 2014. Our intention is to try and apply the easiest to understand ruleset whilst removing any advantages gained by one off rule changes, exceptions or recent additions such as said sprint race points or double points races. In short: a more even playing field with regards to points scoring at least. In the cases where podium steps or finishing positions are shared, we simply give both drivers the points, rather than trying to cope with fractional points, or assigning the points on “merit”. We understand there a lot of other ways to apply these rules, but we are trying to keep things as straightforward as possible.
We hope you like the video. If you do, please make sure to like and subscribe for more F1 time series videos!

Thank you all so much for your comments and suggestions! We've made a video just like you asked with the average points per race, check it out!
So sad seeing Senna's counting stopping when we know he could have done much more.
The moment I saw Fisichella pass Jim Clark was the moment I realised the extent to which career longevity is the main contributing factor in these numbers - I'd be much more interested to see this data indexed against each driver's total number of races.
The fact that Alain Prost is still in sixth while being an eighties Icon tells a lot about the man's career.
nice list! Still, in the past there were far fewer races. I know it would be near impossible to "calculate" this correctly but I'm sure some "oldies" would end up a lot higher in the ranks.
You should also find a way to normalize for the number of races per season. In the fifties, Fangio only had about 7 races a season, today they get 22!! Fangio remains the one with the highest average wins (45%), Won on 4 different teams (Maserati, Ferrari, Mercedes and Alfa). Started his career at 40 yrs old. Had but a single racing accident (he had driven himself from Silverstone to Monza and just made he start of the race from last on the grid).
Watching Vettel and Hamilton race each other up the leaderboard in the early to mid 2010's is insane.
Reutemann was the largest surprise in that in the early 80s. Never knew he was that good.
Prost was a boss.
Most telling of all is how close Rubens Barrichello and Ayrton Senna ended up. One driver once held the longevity record for most Grands Prix while always playing second best to his team mate, and the other of course burned brightly and ever so short.
The way Jim Clark jumps so rapidly up to rival Fangio but then stops because of a Formula 2 race always has me thinking of what could have been. He mightn't be the goat, but he's my goat
Need to update this to 2024...
My personal winner is the driver who stopped mid conversation with his team during a race practice session and beckoned over a shy 10 year old boy to say hello and give an autograph … the boy was me…the driver Jackie Stewart.
You also need to take into account the fact that seasons had less races during Schumacher's era (16-18 at the most), making his records even more impressive.
This chart is crazy. Senna being in the all-time top 10 despite driving much fewer races than those drivers that came after him and Schumacher being stopped just shy of 4k points and still maintains second place... impressive. Verstappen might now be somewhere in the ballpark of Alain Prost, but even so it'll take some time to crack past Vettel and Schumacher.
It was interesting to see how long Fangio remained in the list.
Prost doesn't get enough credit
Fangio spent
Would be interesting if you worked out their points tally for each season using their % finishes in each position and extrapolated that to 22 race seasons for everyone's career.
For a proper comparison, you need to show % of available points. This would account for the fact that there are different numbers of races in a season over the years. Without this correction, your list is basically meaningless as it gives current drivers an edge due to the longer calendar they raced to.
