How the F1 Championship Standings screensaver works
The saver fetches real live driver and constructor standings for the current Formula 1 season.
Points, wins and real team names update automatically as each real race in the calendar is completed.
A countdown ticks down to the next real scheduled race.
No key is required — the data comes from a free, public Formula 1 results API.
How Formula 1 awards its championships
Formula 1 runs two titles at once. The Drivers’ Championship goes to the individual with the most points across a season, and the Constructors’ Championship goes to the team whose two drivers score the most combined, since a team’s total is the sum of both drivers’ points. A team can win one without the other, and both sets of standings are shown here.
Points are awarded to the top ten finishers in a Grand Prix: 25 for a win, then 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1. The scale has changed over the sport’s history. A point for the fastest lap was awarded from 2019 to 2024 and discontinued for 2025, and a driver must complete at least 90% of the winner’s distance to score. Sprint races carry their own smaller scoring in seasons that use them.
If drivers finish level on points, the FIA compares finishing positions: more wins first, then more second places, and so on down the order. Standings can change after a race has finished, since penalties or disqualifications may alter a result. Because the display is a snapshot of a season in progress, an early leader may not be the eventual champion.
A worked example
After a real race weekend, the leading driver's real point total and gap to second place update automatically the next time the standings refresh.
