1956 Formula 1 Standings

Points were awarded to the top five classified finishers, with an additional point granted for the fastest lap, regardless of finishing position or classification. Only the best five results contributed to the championship standings. In cases of shared drives, points were divided among the drivers if they finished in a scoring position. However, if both cars in a shared drive finished in a points-scoring position, only the highest finishing position was counted. If multiple drivers recorded the same fastest lap time, the fastest lap point was equally split among them. Numbers outside parentheses indicate championship points, while numbers in parentheses represent total points scored. The points were awarded according to the following system:

Position	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	Fastest Lap
Race	8	6	4	3	2	1
