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 Saturday final session 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 Saturday final session qualifier (by average Saturday final session qualifying position) as well as the average of the season's pole position times, SuperPole. The format, involving one quick lap and unknown fuel loads, will shuffle the order, with the occasional mistake introducing a further random element. Michael Schumacher remains on top of the table from teammate Rubens Barrichello, Juan Pablo Montoya and Jenson Button, as the rest of the front runners remaining fairly steady.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m19.355.

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. As in SuperGrid, Michael Schumacher remains on top with Rubens Barrichello next, with Jenson Button close behind. Jarno Trulli's DNF costs him four places as Fernando Alonso, Juan Pablo Montoya, Antonio Pizzonia and Timo Glock move past. As usual there are a group of drivers in the midpack separated by only a place or two, while Ricardo Zonta makes his debut at the very 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. Rubens Barrichello continues to lead from teammate Michael Schumacher, followed by Juan Pablo Montoya who is just ahead of Jenson Button. Jarno Trulli's retirement cost him places to Giancarlo Fisichella, Olivier Panis, David Coulthard and teammate Fernando Alonso.

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. Ferrari maintain their lead on top of this table, while BAR and Williams move just ahead of Sauber, Renault losing a place also. At the bottom Minardi remain last but closed back in on McLaren.

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 seven columns: the first six are the average of the fastest time recorded by each driver in each respective pre-race session over all rounds of the season while 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 eight columns: the first six are the average of the positions recorded by each driver in each pre-race session over all rounds of the season; the seventh is the average of the positions of the fastest lap over all rounds of the season; and the eighth is the average of the race finishing positions over all rounds of the season. This table is listed in alphabetical order.


A recent addition to Superstats, the following tables show how many kilometres the various drivers and teams cover each racing weekend, in these days of 'limited' engine life under the one engine per weekend rule. Which drivers complete the most kilometres, whether those teams that run third cars complete more kilometres than those that don't or can't and whether a team is conserving the amount of running on its engines can be seen here.

By default, the table is sorted by total km in descending order.
