What happens when two drivers/constructors are tied on points in Formula 1?
If two drivers/constructors have the same number of points, a tie- beaker system is used to resolve the case. The driver/constructor with the most wins in a season is ranked higher. If they are tied with equal number of wins then the number of second place finishes is considered to rank the drivers/constructor. If they are tied are on the second place then the number of third place finishes is considered and so on
