Pace and style
Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.70% | 0.33–1.24 | 21/54 | 15 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +1.33% | 0.99–1.59 | 33/54 | 17 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +1.29% | 0.81–1.63 | 36/60 | 59 |
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
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consistency (pace variation) | 0.28% | 0.27–0.35 | 21/54 | 15 |
| Places gained grid → finish | +3.00 | 0.00–4.00 | 18/82 | 156 |
| Hides pace for qualifying | −0.08 | -1.42–0.71 | 31/49 | 20 |
| Hides pace for the race | +0.04 | -0.69–0.94 | 23/38 | 10 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | −0.41 | — | 43/43 | 15 |
| Races better than qualifies | +1.29 | -0.39–2.69 | 10/74 | 125 |
| Top speed | 352.4 km/h | — | 37/64 | 2135 |
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.

Tyre management
| Metric | s/lap | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.011 | -0.006–0.033 | 2/54 | 15 |
| Pace loss in the race | −0.008 | -0.028–0.016 | 1/54 | 15 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.

Who finishes ahead in the races both started; a retirement loses to a classified finish. With fewer than 8 races together it is only indicative.
