The fight for the F1 2024 Drivers’ World Championship is in full swing. That’s why we, at PlanetF1.com, have developed a simple-to-use calculator for you, the readers, to make your own predictions on how the title fight between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris might evolve.
How to use the ultimate F1 2024 title fight calculator
The calculator couldn’t be easier to use: manually enter the positions you predict for Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri in the remaining races of the F1 2024 season – including Sprint races – and also select whether either driver will achieve the fastest lap in that race or not.
The calculator bases its algorithm on the official F1 points system (25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1) + 1 point for the driver who sets the fastest lap inside the top 10.
For the Sprint Races also the official points system has been used where only the top 8 finishers score points (8-7-6-6-5-4-4-3-2-1). The fastest lap point doesn’t apply to Sprint races, so this option has not been included in the tool.
Once you have included the positions of all four drivers and if any has achieved a fastest lap, the calculator will update a graph (on desktop) where you can see the progression of the Drivers’ Standings with updated points as you add more and more races. On mobile, you will see a simplified version where the points tallies updated as you input the finishing positions.
