run
The racing calendar for the 2009 season comprises nine racetracks, each with two races taking place. The first race is the sprint, the second the main race on the respective racetrack. The run in Monaco , where only the main race was held, was an exception . In addition, the race in Monaco is the only one that took place as part of the Formula 1 supporting program.
Point system
In the 2009 season there is the following point system:
| run | Qualifying | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| position | 1. | 2. | 3. | 4th | 5. | 6th | 7th | 8th. | 9. | 10. | PP | 2. | 3. |
| sprint | 12 | 10 | 8th | 7th | 6th | 5 | 4th | 3 | 2 | 1 | |||
| head | 15th | 12 | 10 | 8th | 6th | 5 | 4th | 3 | 2 | 1 | 4th | 2 | 1 |
There is also a bonus point for the driver who makes up most of the positions in the race.
On a race weekend (except Monaco) a driver can score a maximum of 32 points, a team a maximum of 57 points.
The starting grid is determined as follows: The 26 cars are divided into two groups for a 20-minute training session. The best six drivers in each group take part in the subsequent Superpole qualification. In the starting grid for the sprint race, the top eight drivers of the Superpole qualification will initially be given the first starting positions in reverse order. This is followed by the last four drivers of the Superpole qualification (not in reverse order) as well as the remaining 14 drivers in the order of their training results. In the main race, on the other hand, the first starting positions will be taken by the best eight drivers of the Superpole qualification in the order of the training results. The rest of the starting positions will be allocated according to the result of the first race.
A different point system was used in Monte Carlo and Portimão as there was no Superpole qualification. The points for the qualification were given to each qualification group.
