Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.88% | 0.27–1.59 | 29/54 | 24 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +1.01% | 0.47–1.56 | 29/60 | 98 |
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) | 0.27% | 0.19–0.34 | 15/54 | 24 |
| Places gained grid → finish | 0.00 | -1.00–1.00 | 63/82 | 167 |
| Hides pace for qualifying | +0.13 | -0.48–0.67 | 15/49 | 28 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | +0.39 | — | 2/43 | 24 |
| Races better than qualifies | +0.74 | -0.16–2.40 | 15/74 | 150 |
| Top speed | 353.5 km/h | — | 34/64 | 2983 |
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
