Points	20	15	12	10	8	6	4	3	2	1

Only the two best-placed drivers in each team at each race will receive points for the team championship.

Rounds 10 and 11 in Shanghai on November 22–23 don't count towards the championship as there was insufficient preparation time due to the delay in the release of the containers by the local customs.^[37]
