The FIA will organise the FIA Formula One World Championship (the Championship) which is the property of the
FIA and comprises two titles of World Champion, one for drivers and one for constructors. It consists of the
Formula One Grand Prix races which are included in the Formula One calendar and in respect of which the ASNs
and organisers have signed the organisation agreement provided for in the 1998 Concorde Agreement (Events).
All the participating parties (FIA, ASNs, organisers, competitors and circuits) undertake to apply as well as
observe the rules governing the Championship and must hold FIA Super Licences which are issued to drivers,
competitors, officials, organisers and circuits.
2007 F1 Sporting Regulations 2 of 39 5th March 2007
1) REGULATIONS
1.1 The final text of these Sporting Regulations shall be the English version which will be used should any
dispute arise as to their interpretation. Headings in this document are for ease of reference only and do not
form part of these Sporting Regulations.
1.2 These Sporting Regulations were first published on 30 October 2006 and came into force on 1 January
2007. They were subsequently amended on 5 March 2007 with the unanimous agreement of all competing
teams and replace all previous FIA Formula One World Championship Sporting Regulations.
2) GENERAL UNDERTAKING
2.1 All drivers, competitors and officials participating in the Championship undertake, on behalf of themselves,
their employees and agents, to observe all the provisions as supplemented or amended of the International
Sporting Code (the Code), the Formula One Technical Regulations (the Technical Regulations) and the
present Sporting Regulations together with all the provisions of the 1998 Concorde Agreement (the
Agreement) of which they have had due notice.
2.2 The Championship is governed by the Agreement and its schedules.
2.3 Any special national regulations must be submitted to the FIA with the original application for inclusion of
an Event on the international calendar. Only with the approval of the FIA can such special regulations
come into force for an Event. The FIA will ensure that all applicant competitors are informed of such
special regulations before entries close under Article 13.1.
3) GENERAL CONDITIONS
3.1 It is the competitor's responsibility to ensure that all persons concerned by his entry observe all the
requirements of the Agreement, the Code, the Technical Regulations and the Sporting Regulations. If a
competitor is unable to be present in person at the Event he must nominate his representative in writing.
The person having charge of an entered car during any part of an Event is responsible jointly and severally
with the competitor for ensuring that the requirements are observed.
3.2 Competitors must ensure that their cars comply with the conditions of eligibility and safety throughout
practice and the race.
3.3 The presentation of a car for scrutineering will be deemed an implicit statement of conformity.
3.4 All persons concerned in any way with an entered car or present in any other capacity whatsoever in the
paddock, pit lane, or track must wear an appropriate pass at all times.
4) LICENCES
4.1 All drivers, competitors and officials participating in the Championship must hold a FIA Super Licence.
Applications for Super Licences must be made to the FIA through the applicant's ASN.
The driver's name will remain on the list for Super Licences for one year.
5) CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS
5.1 Events are reserved for Formula One cars as defined in the Technical Regulations.
5.2 Each Event will have the status of an international restricted competition.
5.3 The distance of all races, from the start signal referred to in Article 38.11 to the chequered flag, shall be
equal to the least number of complete laps which exceed a distance of 305 km (Monaco 260km). However,
should two hours elapse before the scheduled race distance is completed, the leader will be shown the
chequered flag when he crosses the control line (the Line) at the end of the lap during which the two hour
period ended. However, should the race be suspended (see Article 41) the length of the suspension will be
added to this period.

The Line is a single line which crosses both the track and the pit lane.

5.5 The final list of Events is published by the FIA before 1 January each year.
5.6 An Event which is cancelled with less than three months written notice to the FIA will not be considered for
inclusion in the following year's Championship unless the FIA judges the cancellation to have been due to
force majeure.
5.7 An Event may be cancelled if fewer than 12 cars are available for it.
6) WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
6.1 The Formula One World Championship driver's title will be awarded to the driver who has scored the
highest number of points, taking into consideration all the results obtained during the Events which have
actually taken place.
6.2 The title of Formula One World Champion Constructor will be awarded to the make which has scored the
highest number of points, results from both cars being taken into account.
6.3 The constructor of an engine or rolling chassis is the person (including any corporate or unincorporated
body) which owns the intellectual property rights to such engine or chassis. The make of an engine or
chassis is the name attributed to it by its constructor.
If the make of the chassis is not the same as that of the engine, the title will be awarded to the former
which shall always precede the latter in the name of the car.
6.4 Points for both titles will be awarded at each Event according to the following scale :
1st : 10 points
2nd : 8 points
3rd : 6 points
4th : 5 points
5th : 4 points
6th : 3 points
7th : 2 points
8th : 1 point
6.5 If a race is suspended under Article 41, and cannot be resumed, no points will be awarded if the leader has
completed less than two laps, half points will be awarded if the leader has completed more than two laps
but less than 75% of the original race distance and full points will be awarded if the leader has completed
more than 75% of the original race distance.
6.6 The drivers finishing first, second and third in the Championship must be present at the annual FIA Prize
Giving ceremony.
7) DEAD HEAT
7.1 Prizes and points awarded for all the positions of competitors who tie, will be added together and shared
equally.

b) if the number of first places is the same, the holder of the greatest number of second places,
c) if the number of second places is the same, the holder of the greatest number of third places and so
on until a winner emerges.
