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 four qualifying sessions, Michael Schumacher remains on top. The two Williams have equal average qualifying positions, Ralf Schumacher has a better average qualifying time but Montoya is ranked ahead of him as Montoya's best qualifying position was pole in Brazil versus Schumacher's 3rd position in three races this year. Eddie Irvine remains behind teammate de la Rosa.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m23.829, which sees the 107% cutoff at 1m29.696.

By default, the table is sorted 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 leads Juan Pablo Montoya from Ralf Schumacher after three relatively successful races. Jenson Button is showing speed and reliability in the Renault, two things that weren't said about him and his car 12 months ago. Olivier Panis continues his poor luck in races, still sitting at the the bottom of the table despite completing more laps in San Marino than in the first three races put together.

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 with equal most laps completed and most laps led leads the field from Juan Pablo Montoya, ahead of a string of drivers driving reliable but not so quick cars.

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. Jaguar have slipped to second, with Williams taking over top spot, Ferrari and Minardi are locked in a tight battle, Yoong's failure to qualify effectively being offset by Barrichello's first corner accident in Australia. Arrows remain at the wrong end of the table, just ahead of Jordan, both teams showing less reliability than the other team using the same engines.

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.
