| 1999 SuperStats | |
| Post-Cnanda GP Edition. Compilation by Rory Gordon, Australia | |

The Superstats is an on-going project that attempts to classify various performances throughout an F1 season by, generally, averaging each race's performance, in several categories, over the entire season.
Conceived as the SuperGrid by the late John Taylor for Autocourse, I started my own compilations when Taylor died. Originally, the SuperStats - as the project was to become - was developed purely for my own interest. This has not changed, and the day I get bored with the SuperStats, they will stop. All figures used in the SuperStats are based on the official FIA timing sheets and, where necessary, those sheets are deemed to be the final authority.
In the time it takes you to read this, 5 seconds has passed, more than the average gap from pole position to last on the grid. It doesn't feel very much, but if you add it up over the number of laps in a race, it does come out to substantially more. Mika Hakkinen is still well in the lead in the 1999 SuperGrid, with nearly a half-second gap to Michael Schumacher. No surprise to find the McLarens and Ferraris dominating, but Barrichello's position is on the unexpected side.

So far this season, the drivers have completed 5890 laps, a distance of 26,195.219 kilometres, in 146 hours, 54 minutes and 2.914 seconds. Total racing distance has been 1791.950 kilometres over 403 laps. Although the two do not necessarily mean the same, Irvine is leading the field in both laps completed (on which this table is sorted) and kilometres completed. A good example of the fact that laps and kilometres are not necessarily in any ratio can be seen by looking at the laps and kilometres led of Barrichello and Coulthard.
