Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.54% | 0.32–0.88 | 10/54 | 176 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +0.83% | 0.55–1.31 | 19/60 | 314 |
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.

| Top speed | 366.1 km/h | — | 9/64 | 13174 |
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.

Tyres
Tyre management
| Metric | s/lap | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degradation in practice · Medium | +0.327 | 0.163–0.472 | 19/34 | 14 |
| Degradation in practice · Soft | +0.125 | 0.122–0.440 | 1/13 | 5 |

| Pace loss in the race | +0.019 | -0.006–0.055 | 29/54 | 146 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
