How the Racelience Award Works

The Racelience Award, initiated by Pirelli, celebrates drivers who exhibit extraordinary resilience by advancing the most positions from their starting grid during a race. The award is a reflection of each driver’s ability to adapt, recover, and excel in challenging circumstances. Throughout the season, points are accumulated based on the number of positions gained across races. At the end of the season, the driver with the highest score will be awarded the coveted Pirelli Wheel, a symbol of their perseverance and exceptional racecraft.
