Why time command in linux has different output when I type it in shell than I use it in script?

Question

The problem is when I use time in shell I get output like that:

1.350u 0.038s 0:01.45 95.1%     0+0k 0+72io 1pf+0w

And when Im using it in script I get:

real    0m1.253s
user    0m1.143s
sys     0m0.047s

I mean why? And in shell script at the beginning I write:

#!/bin/bash

Bash has a built-in command time, and your system should also have a separate binary at /usr/bin/time:

$ help time
time: time [-p] pipeline
    Report time consumed by pipeline's execution.

    Execute PIPELINE and print a summary of the real time, user CPU time,
    ...
$ which time
/usr/bin/time

The two commands produce different outputs:

$ time echo hi
hi

real    0m0.000s
user    0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
$ /usr/bin/time echo hi
hi
