Pace
| Metric | Value | Usual range | Rank | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race pace | +0.88% | 0.57–1.18 | 29/54 | 110 |
| One-lap pace (qualifying) | +1.01% | 0.77–1.36 | 27/54 | 95 |

| Fast lap (practice) | +0.89% | 0.54–1.48 | 23/60 | 335 |
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) | 0.32% | 0.27–0.39 | 34/54 | 99 |

| Hides pace for the race | +0.07 | -0.67–1.81 | 20/38 | 40 |
| Qualifying specialist (+) or diesel (−) | +0.06 | — | 16/43 | 95 |
| Races better than qualifies | −0.35 | -1.89–1.54 | 32/74 | 142 |
| Top speed | 366.1 km/h | — | 9/64 | 10849 |
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 | +0.406 | 0.214–0.730 | 22/34 | 9 |
| Degradation in practice · Wet-Soft | +1.418 | 1.418–1.919 | 8/8 | 3 |

| Pace loss in the race | +0.020 | -0.003–0.044 | 33/54 | 99 |
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.
