Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.87% | 0.40–1.19 | 28/54 | 187 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +0.97% | 0.71–1.32 | 24/54 | 131 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +0.86% | 0.48–1.36 | 22/60 | 434 |
Percentage above the fastest rider of each session (median over all their sessions): 0% would mean always being the fastest. The usual range goes from their good quartile to their bad one. Rank: among all riders with enough data.
Style

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consistency (pace variation) | 0.30% | 0.22–0.41 | 28/54 | 153 |

| Hides pace for the race | −0.00 | -0.63–0.40 | 27/38 | 67 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | +0.09 | — | 13/43 | 131 |
| Races better than qualifies | +0.88 | -1.61–3.62 | 13/74 | 126 |
| Top speed | 361.2 km/h | — | 25/64 | 15220 |
Descriptive: how the rider has done so far, not a prediction. "Hides pace" is not very stable from one year to the next: always look at the usual range.
Race and qualifying
Racecraft by phase
Positions gained (+) or lost (−) in each phase versus what the rider’s position would suggest, over 33 races. Descriptive.
Races better than qualifies?
Positions finished better (+) or worse (−) than the starting position suggests, per season.

Q2 risk
Over 44 Q2 sessions since 2021. Disaster = best lap more than 1% slower than the others' median.
Tyres
Tyre management
| Metric | s/lap | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degradation in practice · Hard | +0.311 | 0.311–0.321 | 6/6 | 3 |
| Degradation in practice · Medium | +0.217 | 0.155–0.335 | 7/34 | 9 |
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.029 | 0.001–0.061 | 14/54 | 153 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.010 | -0.021–0.042 | 16/54 | 153 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
