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 nine qualifying sessions, Michael Schumacher still remains on top. The fight between Juan Pablo Montoya, Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher continues to rage, with Montoya edging away from Barrichello and Ralf. Kimi Raikkonen continues with his third row starting positions, making it nine out of nine. The two Renault drivers are almost as close as two teammates can get, surrounded by the two Sauber drivers, while Panis is ahead of Villeneuve and de la Rosa is ahead of Irvine.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m19.909, which sees the 107% cutoff at 1m25.502.

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 as he has in most things this season, ahead of his brother Ralf. Juan Pablo Montoya's failure to finish again sees him tied with David Coulthard, only split by the greater race distance he has covered this season. Rubens Barrichello continues an upwards march. Nick Heidfeld to Kimi Raikkonen are covered by less than two average finishing places, with six drivers in between them.

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, followed by the two Williams of Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya who have swapped positions. Closely following are a string of drivers driving reliable cars, some quick while others are not so quick, including Mika Salo who only trails the top three. 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 remaining clearly in top spot, despite Montoya's third problem in three races, while Ferrari sits in second ahead of Renault. Sauber has moved clear of Toyota and McLaren. Jordan still 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.
