Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.42% | 0.23–0.72 | 7/54 | 102 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +0.59% | 0.37–0.81 | 6/54 | 54 |
| Long run (practice) | +0.48% | 0.21–0.85 | 5/59 | 104 |
| Fast lap (practice) | +0.46% | 0.23–0.73 | 3/60 | 135 |
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

| Hides pace for the race | +0.04 | -0.76–0.58 | 22/38 | 34 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | −0.03 | — | 24/43 | 54 |
| Races better than qualifies | +0.61 | -0.67–3.40 | 18/74 | 46 |
| Top speed | 364.8 km/h | — | 9/64 | 5482 |
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 | +0.448 | 0.435–0.462 | 24/34 | 4 |
| Degradation in practice · Soft | +0.277 | 0.235–0.988 | 8/13 | 7 |
| Race degradation (fuel-corrected) | +0.050 | 0.022–0.096 | 45/54 | 74 |
| Pace loss in the race | +0.032 | 0.003–0.077 | 46/54 | 74 |
Seconds lost per lap over a run. Lower is better: better tyre management.
