Amber: the position differs from the official result. A calculation, not a rewriting of history – drivers would have raced differently if different points had been at stake.

Scored 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1, plus one for the fastest lap inside the top ten, every result counted.

The World Champion would be the same.
