1957 Formula 1 Standings

Points were awarded to the top five finishers, with an extra point granted for the fastest lap, regardless of finishing position or classification. Only the best five results contributed to the championship standings. Formula 2 cars participating in Grands Prix were not eligible for Championship points. In cases of shared drives, points were divided among the drivers if they finished in a scoring position, unless a driver was deemed to have completed an “insufficient distance” in the final car (e.g., Peter Collins at the 1957 British Grand Prix). 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
