Podium finish is for the first three places. Points awarded are:
1: 25
2: 18
3: 15
4: 12
5: 10
6: 8
7: 6
8: 4
9: 2
10: 1
In addition, 1 point is awarded for the fastest lap as long as the driver finishes in the top 10.

So if one finishes outside Top 3, He doesn't achieve the podium finish?
Formula 1 has always bored me, but I could improve it no end with one simple rule .
Give the points they do in the race before the race for their qualifying positions, then make them line up on the grid in reverse qualifying positions. And give another set of points for where they finish. Some cars are laps ahead of others so it will probably end up with the same result in the end, but might be a slightly less tedious spectacle watching the advantaged cars coming from the back.

They've been toying with similar ideas for ages, including having a sprint race to determine the qualifying grid. But it never gets full agreement amongst the teams. The qualifying I prefer is the older one where they all had an hour to achieve their best times. Because of random blocking by other cars a surprise or two appeared in the upper part of the grid. It started off slowly, but became a bit frenetic towards the end of the hour.
