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 seven qualifying sessions, Michael Schumacher still remains on top. With three drivers sharing the same average qualifying position, Rubens Barrichello's two pole positions and two seconds see him ahead of Juan Pablo Montoya with two poles and one second, and Ralf Schumacher with no poles. After five consecutive fifth positions, Kimi Raikkonen has qualified in sixth place in the last two races. Further down the table in the battle of the Cosworths, both Arrows drivers remain in front of both Jaguar drivers, Mark Webber right on the tail of Eddie Irvine.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m19.491, which sees the 107% cutoff at 1m25.055.

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 Juan Pablo Montoya, while Ralf Schumacher remains just behind the leading duo and closing, with Coulthard's win moving him into contention as well. Mika Salo and Mark Webber continue to show that a mixture of speed and reliability is necessary to do well in the SuperRace. Olivier Panis returns to the bottom after another retirement, with Kimi Raikkonen's poor luck continuing to see him near the bottom.

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 now is alone on top with most laps completed and most laps led after Juan Pablo Montoya's mechanical failure, ahead of a string of drivers driving reliable cars, some quick while others are not so quick, including Mika Salo and Jacques Villeneuve in third and fourth respectively just ahead of the fast Ralf Schumacher in fifth. The two Saubers sit near the middle of the table as the drivers continue to be involved in incidents throughout the year. Giancarlo Fisichella stays off the bottom of the table after another fifth place finish.

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 remaining clearly in top spot, despite Montoya's problem, while Ferrari sits in second ahead of Renault. Jaguar, Sauber and McLaren are almost neck and neck, as are Minardi and BAR. Jordan sit in a clear last position.

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.
