Formula 1 (Technical) (FIA)
Verdict
The Technical Regulations do not govern race scoring (handled by the Sporting Regulations: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 for P1–P10, plus 1 bonus point for fastest lap in top 10). Technical scrutineering produces a binary pass/fail outcome — non-compliant cars are excluded from the session results.
Why people argue about this
People often assume that technical compliance is directly tied to race scoring in Formula 1, thinking that non-compliant cars are automatically disqualified from all results. However, the Technical Regulations only dictate which vehicles can participate in a session based on scrutineering outcomes; they don't affect how points are awarded or calculated once a car has passed inspection.
