Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.76% | 0.34–1.18 | 22/54 | 57 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +0.89% | 0.52–1.45 | 17/54 | 57 |
| Long run (practice) | +1.03% | 0.73–1.65 | 26/59 | 142 |
| Fast lap (practice) | +0.81% | 0.41–1.40 | 16/60 | 202 |
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) | 0.33% | 0.26–0.42 | 42/54 | 48 |
| Places gained grid → finish | −1.00 | -5.00–2.00 | 78/82 | 184 |
| Hides pace for qualifying | −0.02 | -0.54–0.69 | 25/49 | 60 |
| Hides pace for the race | +0.75 | 0.00–1.44 | 4/38 | 28 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | +0.04 | — | 16/43 | 57 |
| Races better than qualifies | −0.38 | -1.95–1.76 | 34/74 | 135 |
| Top speed | 360.0 km/h | — | 25/64 | 6532 |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.045 | 0.012–0.066 | 41/54 | 48 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.025 | -0.007–0.049 | 40/54 | 48 |
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.
