German GP Edition. Compilation by Rory Gordon, Australia

SuperRace

This edition of the SuperStats, for the Grand Prix of Germany, is devoted to data from the actual races. While most of that data is about the drivers, there is also some data on the teams and on the races.

The first table shows each driver's average finishing position, the total number of laps, and kilometres, he has completed and the total time he has spent racing so far this season.

As usual, drivers who have not competed in every race are marked with an aster ("*").
