Drivers
Points were allocated for each race according to the following scheme: 20 points for the winner, 15 for second place, 12 for third, followed by 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point down to the tenth position. Competitors finishing beyond tenth place did not earn points. An extra 2 points were granted for recording the fastest lap. Only the top 12 race results per driver contributed to their championship total; however, all bonus points were counted. Three drivers had points deducted (indicated in parentheses).
