So you want to be a Formula One driver? These days you don’t just need to find a team willing to take a punt on you.
The FIA’s superlicence points system, now in its third year, means new drivers must score a minimum of 40 points awarded based on their performances in different junior categories in order to race in F1.
Who’s already made it and who’s fallen short? F1 Fanatic has crunched the numbers and produced a complete list of all 314 drivers who’ve scored a point at the start of 2017 based on their results over the previous three seasons.

It is absolutely bonkers that through this system, Antonio Felix da Costa is as qualified for F1 as the likes of Nikita Mazepin.

How did WEC LMP1 qualify for points, as there were only 8 or 9 starting cars all season?

Because in WEC the LMP title is the overall LMP title as they count the LMP1 and LMP2 as one championchip

Nice work! This is exceptionally helpful to see!

If someone has already raced in the F1, do they still need to get 40 points after their F1 career, or can they come back as they already had a super licence in the past? This would shorten the list.
But nice to have this list available! Good job.
