| Fast lap (practice) | +0.44% | 0.15–0.92 | 2/60 | 380 |
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 | 362.4 km/h | — | 17/64 | 15437 |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degradation in practice · Medium | +0.275 | 0.104–0.561 | 13/34 | 31 |

| Pace loss in the race | +0.024 | -0.003–0.055 | 34/54 | 167 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
