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. With the season over, Michael Schumacher is the SuperGrid polesitter. Alongside him, thanks to his performance in the last round, is his teammate Rubens Barrichello, Juan Pablo Montoya dropping back onto the second row with his teammate Ralf Schumacher. Next are the two McLaren drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard as the big three remained the big three. Further back, the two BAR drivers are also barely separable.

Some drivers did not compete in every qualifying session - those drivers were Enrique Bernoldi, Anthony Davison, Giancarlo Fisichella, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Alex Yoong. Also, all of Eddie Irvine's qualifying times in Spain were deleted due to a fuel irregularity.

The SuperPole time for 2002 is 1m20.234, which saw the 107% cutoff at 1m25.851.

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 is the (easy) winner of the SuperRace, with not one retirement during the season. An almost unbelievably tight battle for second to fifth continued to be fought until the end, with Juan Pablo Montoya beating Rubens Barrichello to the runner's up spot, Barrichello filling out the podium. They both gained two places in the standings in the last round as Ralf Schumacher lost one and David Coulthard three places to finish fourth and fifth respectively. Sauber's Nick Heidfeld showed he was the best of the rest to claim sixth position. Jenson Button just held off teammate Jarno Trulli despite a late season charge, while Mark Webber's finish at Suzuka ensured he beat home the BAR of Olivier Panis and the Jaguar of Pedro de la Rosa, two teams with yearly budgets that could run Minardi for several years!

Some drivers did not compete in every race - those drivers were Enrique Bernoldi, Anthony Davison, Giancarlo Fisichella, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Allan McNish, Mark Webber and Alex Yoong.

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 is alone on top with most laps completed, having completed every lap of all 17 races, and most laps led. He is followed by the two Williams of Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher, split by Nick Heidfeld's Sauber. Barrichello's poor early season reliability meant that despite a stellar end to the season, he finished up ranked eighth, though he moved up two places in the last round. Apart from Williams, most teammates remained well separated from each other.

Michael Schumacher was also the clear leader in the leading department, his nearest challenger being his own teammate Ruben Barrichello, well clear of David Coulthard, Juan Pablo Montoya, Ralf Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen.

The 2002 season consisted of 17 races, during which a total of 1090 laps of racing and 5175.022 km were covered.

By default, the table is sorted by total distance in descending order, then total laps in descending order, then distance led in descending order.

For the final Superstats of the year, we will also look at things in a slightly different way, looking at each drivers' results as a percentage of the total. By default, the table is sorted by percentage of total distance in descending order, then percentage of total laps in descending order, then percentage of 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 just held onto top spot with Ferrari close behind in second place. Sauber, McLaren and Renault were clearly next, the top five teams being clearly the most reliable. Toyota finish best of the rest, a fairly impressive achievement in their first ever season, Jaguar just beating the Honda duo of BAR and Jordan, with Minardi effectively last. Although Williams went the furthest in the races, leading of races was dominated by Ferrari, while Williams's time in the lead was exceeded by McLaren in laps but not in distance.

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.

An interesting comparison is that between this year's and last year's qualifying times. What effect has the ongoing tyre war and car development had on overall lap times? Should Max Mosley be too worried or not? In general, it seems that times have decreased by a significant amount, with an average decrease of about 2% or about 1.75 seconds. This figures includes Belgium, where track changes and weather affect the comparison. Without Spa, the figures are just over 1.6% or just under 1.3 seconds.
