Scoring

Scores will be awarded to all drivers during each timed session (excluding Saturday practice because I forgot about it!). For each of the Friday Practice sessions, and Saturday's Qualifying, drivers will be awarded points as shown in Table 1 below. Table 2 shows the points that will be awarded for the race itself. Constructors will be awarded the sum of the points scored by their real world drivers.

An additional 20 points will be awarded to the driver who sets the fastest lap of the race.
Any driver unclassified at the end of any session or race will receive 0 points.
If a session or race is terminated early for any reason, full points will be awarded according to the official classification.
Official classifications will be obtained from Formula1.com
Constructor's points are awarded as above and in addition to Driver's points. For example, if you pick Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes, then both Lewis Hamilton's and Jenson Button's points scored during the weekend will be added to your score, regardless of your driver selection.
Any penalty (including but not limited to a black flag, a pit-lane drive-through, a pit stop/go or a time penalty subsequent to the conclusion of the race) imposed upon a driver during or after the RACE ONLY will result in a loss of 10 points for that driver.
A new Rule for 2010 states that teams may field their reserve driver for the Friday Practice sessions. If this happens, your Constructor points will count, but if your chosen driver is substituted for the reserve driver, you get no points.
These rules are draft and for discussion until 11th March 2010.
