Scoring Notes for 2002

One-off rulings, race-day anomalies, and data quirks that affect how points are awarded this season.

[Team] Arrows withdrew mid-season: Arrows last raced at the German GP (round 11) before folding due to financial collapse. Later 2002 races ran with only 20 cars, so the grid shows empty slots.
