Championship ranking tie-breaking
If a tie still occurs in the points standings, the tiebreaker will be the finish rank of the most recent round.
Suppose several drivers obtain the same number of points in the season’s individual ranking. In that case, a higher place is awarded to a competitor who was awarded a higher number of higher places in particular rounds, and gets a better place.
Example: Driver Y and Driver Z both have 212 points at the end of the season. Driver Y finished 14th, and Driver Z finished 13th in the most recent round. Driver Z will be ranked above Driver Z.
