Pace and style
Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +1.60% | 1.47–1.83 | 45/54 | 6 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +1.92% | 1.83–2.57 | 45/54 | 9 |
| Long run (practice) | +2.05% | 1.65–2.81 | 46/59 | 21 |
| Fast lap (practice) | +2.42% | 1.61–3.13 | 55/60 | 28 |
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) | 0.24% | 0.22–0.29 | 2/54 | 7 |
| Places gained grid → finish | +2.00 | 1.00–4.00 | 37/82 | 30 |
| Races better than qualifies | +0.09 | -1.10–1.11 | 23/74 | 19 |
| Top speed | 342.8 km/h | — | 52/64 | 970 |
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.
Race and qualifying
Races better than qualifies?
Positions finished better (+) or worse (−) than the starting position suggests, per season.
| Season | Beats the grid | n |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | −0.68 | 1 |
| 2019 | −0.91 | 4 |
| 2018 | +4.40 | 1 |

Tyres
Tyre management
| Metric | s/lap | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degradation in practice · Medium | +0.462 | 0.462–0.521 | 27/34 | 3 |
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.062 | 0.024–0.086 | 54/54 | 7 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.042 | 0.004–0.064 | 53/54 | 7 |
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.
