Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.65% | 0.35–1.10 | 18/54 | 150 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +0.91% | 0.63–1.30 | 22/54 | 123 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +0.79% | 0.49–1.23 | 13/60 | 379 |
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 | 363.6 km/h | — | 17/64 | 12984 |
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 | +0.562 | 0.462–0.891 | 30/34 | 10 |
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.038 | 0.010–0.072 | 23/54 | 111 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.017 | -0.010–0.052 | 25/54 | 111 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
