1998 SuperGrid and SuperRace

British GP Edition. Compilation by Rory Gordon, Australia

This edition of the SuperGrid, for the GP of Britain, presents the latest basic data for all drivers in this season. Those drivers who have not participated in every race are marked with an aster (*).

At the GP of Britain, two drivers's times were disallowed and they were sent to the back of the grid. The SuperGrid average positions are based on the actual grid at the GP of Britain - in other words, Ralph Schumacher and Panis were given 21st and 22nd positions. However, at this stage (ie. subject to change), their original grid times have been retained for SuperGrid purposes. This was done as assigning these drivers no time would indicate that had not participated at every race and would "disqualify" them for the end-of-season SuperGrid (given the variable times at each circuit, only those drivers who take part in all GP are eligible for the end-of-season SuperGrid).

TEAMS

For the first time this season, I believe, the SuperStats present some data on the performance on a team basis. These figures should not be taken too literally as many of the figures are based on the average of the drivers' averages.

                Grid Pos.   Fin. Pos.   1,214
