Advice: With each table, click on a column's header (title) to sort the table by that column; click again to change the sorting order.

The SuperGrid compares the average qualifying position and times of all drivers over all rounds of the Formula One season. Each driver's time is also compared against the best overall qualifier (by average qualifying position) as well as the average of the season's pole position times, SuperPole. After twelve qualifying sessions, Michael Schumacher still remains on top. Juan Pablo Montoya, Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher still remain in a close fight. Kimi Raikkonen returned to the third row of the grid, staying ahead of teammate David Coulthard. Olivier Panis remains ahead of Jacques Villeneuve.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m18.713, which sees the 107% cutoff at 1m24.222.

By default, the table is sorted in by average qualifying position in ascending order, then by best qualifying position/positions achieved throughout the season in a similar manner to that that the FIA uses to rank the championship standings in ascending order.


The SuperRace compares the average finishing position, and total time and distance completed by all drivers over all rounds of the Formula One season. Michael Schumacher continues to lead the field. Brother Ralf is fighting off Juan Pablo Montoya and David Coulthard in a close battle. The rest of the field is closely packed, with Mark Webber sitting ahead of Eddie Irvine, despite the disparity in their teams' budgets.

By default, the table is sorted by average finishing position in ascending order, then total distance covered in descending order.


The driver totals compare the total laps completed, total distance completed, laps led and distance led by each driver throughout the season. Michael Schumacher is alone on top with most laps completed and most laps led, followed by the two Williams of Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya. Closely following are a string of drivers driving reliable cars, some quick while others are not so quick. Despite missing several races, Alex Yoong is not sitting in last position. Apart from Williams, most teammates are well separated from each other.

By default, the table is sorted by total distance in descending order, then total laps in descending order, then distance led in descending order.


The team totals compare the total laps completed, total distance completed, laps led and distance led by each team throughout the season. Williams still remain safely in top spot, Ferrari sits in second ahead of Renault, Sauber and McLaren. Jaguar stay ahead of BAR, while Toyota and Minardi are in a close battle. Jordan moves ahead of Arrows, having gained ground on them the race before.

By default, the table is sorted by total distance in descending order, then total laps in descending order, then distance led in descending order.


The average times table consists of six columns: the first four are the average of the fastest time recorded by each driver in each respective pre-race session over all rounds of the season; the fifth is the average lap time recorded during the race over all rounds of the season, calculated by dividing the total time a driver has raced during the season by the total laps the driver has completed in races; and the sixth is the average of the fastest lap recorded in the race over all rounds of the season. This table is listed in alphabetical order.


The average positions table consists of six columns: the first four are the average of the positions recorded by each driver in each pre-race session over all rounds of the season; the fifth is the average of the race finishing positions over all rounds of the season; and the sixth is the average of the positions of the fastest lap over all rounds of the season. This table is listed in alphabetical order.
