Points were awarded to the top five classified finishers, with an additional point granted for setting the fastest lap, regardless of finishing position or classification. Only the best six results contributed to the championship standings. Formula 2 cars were not eligible for Championship points, and no points were awarded for shared drives. If multiple drivers recorded the same fastest lap time, the fastest lap point was equally divided among them.

For the International Cup for F1 Manufacturers, only the highest-finishing driver from each team scored points per race, with fastest lap points excluded. Indy 500 results did not count towards the cup. As with the Drivers’ Championship, only the best six results were considered.
