Points system

The points system for 2023 was restructured. Races 1 and 3 award maximum points, while race 2, which features a starting grid based on reversed results from race 1, is worth slightly reduced points. Additionally, the top five drivers in qualifying now receive points instead of only the pole winner, and the driver who sets the fastest lap in a race receives points.[37][38]
