A driver with points and no position was excluded from the classification: the points stand, the position does not. Wins are counted from the race records, and a shared drive is a win for both of its drivers. The gap is to the highest points total classified, so the leader's own is an em dash; before 1991 it is a difference of net totals, dropped scores and all.

The gap is to the highest points total classified, so the leader's own is an em dash; before 1991 it is a difference of net totals, dropped scores and all. The championship is contested by a chassis–engine pair, so one name can appear more than once with different engines.
On the grid
The entry list as the season declared it, one row per seat. The count above is taken from the race entries — the drivers entered for a round — so in a season whose line-up moves the two need not agree.

A driver named as a reserve or a substitute carries that word: this is not a count of who has started. The number is the one carried this season and the code is the three letters the timing screens use; the power unit is the maker, whose engine the car is entered with.

Where an entrant ran more than one design, no source records which car raced which round — so those race results carry no chassis.
