Each race had 5 drivers participating in it, the first race had the top 5 drivers in accordance to the table, the next race had drivers from 2 to 6, the third race had drivers from 3 to 7 and so on. The winner of each race got 5 points, the runner-up got 3 points and the third placed driver got 1 point. Also, Lewis Hamilton was the only driver who scored points in two consecutive races.
