Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +1.41% | 1.08–1.72 | 42/54 | 27 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +1.44% | 1.24–1.70 | 36/54 | 31 |
| Long run (practice) | +1.62% | 1.22–2.02 | 39/59 | 86 |
| Fast lap (practice) | +1.47% | 1.27–1.86 | 41/60 | 101 |
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.

| Consistency (pace variation) | 0.31% | 0.26–0.37 | 32/54 | 26 |

| Hides pace for the race | −0.39 | -0.94–0.07 | 37/38 | 18 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | +0.21 | — | 8/43 | 27 |
| Races better than qualifies | −0.69 | -2.25–1.76 | 51/74 | 102 |
| Top speed | 349.5 km/h | — | 44/64 | 3489 |
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) | +0.058 | 0.032–0.087 | 50/54 | 26 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.034 | 0.011–0.064 | 49/54 | 26 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
