Note:

  • Pastor Maldonado originally won the first race at Misano, but was disqualified for a technical infringement. His team, Draco Multiracing USA, appealed the decision, but on January 24, 2007, the Italian National Court of Appeal for Motorsport upheld the original ruling.[3]
  • Borja García originally won the second race at Spa, but was disqualified for a technical infringement. However, on October 27, 2006, a court decided to revoke the disqualification and returned the win and points to both the driver and the team. His team, RC Motorsport, did however receive a financial penalty for the infringement.[4]

Points system edit

Points were awarded at the end of each race according to the following system:[5]

 1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th 
15 12 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1

In addition:[5]

  • One point was awarded for Pole position for each race
  • One point was awarded for fastest lap for each race

The maximum number of points a driver could earn each weekend (except Monaco) was 34 and the maximum number for a team was 58.
