Pace and style
Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.42% | 0.22–0.65 | 7/54 | 19 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +0.93% | 0.66–1.06 | 23/54 | 19 |
| Long run (practice) | +0.82% | 0.43–1.30 | 16/59 | 59 |
| Fast lap (practice) | +0.90% | 0.46–1.47 | 24/60 | 68 |
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) | 0.25% | 0.19–0.31 | 5/54 | 17 |
| Places gained grid → finish | +0.50 | -1.00–2.00 | 61/82 | 150 |
| Hides pace for qualifying | +0.21 | -0.67–1.03 | 6/49 | 22 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | −0.33 | — | 43/43 | 19 |
| Races better than qualifies | +1.36 | 0.62–2.76 | 7/74 | 131 |
| Top speed | 347.8 km/h | — | 46/64 | 2440 |
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) | +0.025 | 0.007–0.037 | 7/54 | 17 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.006 | -0.012–0.016 | 8/54 | 17 |
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.
