| Fast lap (practice) | +0.79% | 0.44–1.34 | 12/60 | 197 |
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 | 351.7 km/h | — | 41/64 | 7398 |
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 · Hard | +0.237 | 0.237–1.305 | 4/6 | 3 |
