Counterfactual scores use official race finishes and Grand Prix countback; an unresolved countback tie stays labelled tied. Excluded weekends remove both race and sprint scores. Full target points apply to all retained races, including originally shortened or double-points races. Shared drives receive a full award per result entry because the DB cannot reliably reconstruct driving shares.

Dropped scores: target; drivers {"countBest":null}, constructors {"countBest":null}. Split rules retain the original round boundary when races are excluded.
