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 Saturday 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 Saturday qualifier (by average Saturday qualifying position) as well as the average of the season's pole position times, SuperPole. With half the season completed, the new format involving one quick lap and unknown fuel loads continues to shuffle the order, with the occasional mistake introducing a further random element. The Ferraris remain on top, though both Williams drivers move a little closer. The rest of the field follows, headed by Ralf Schumacher thanks to another pole. The biggest loser is Raikkonen who falls three places after his spin, while Alonso gained three places after his superb effort in qualifying.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m19.756, which sees the 107% cutoff at 1m25.339.

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 moves a little further clear of Kimi Raikkonen at the top, in a table which remains relatively static, though Mark Webber and Olivier Panis's points finishes see them both leap up three places. On the other hand, Jacques Villeneuve's Canadian jinx continues, as his retirement sees him fall three places to second last, just above Justin Wilson.

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. Ralf Schumacher remains the driver closest to a perfect record. Juan Pablo Montoya leads a pack of four covered by just a few km and laps after eight races. Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Jacques Villeneuve's bad runs continue as they fall to occupy the last two places in the table.

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. At the top of the table Ferrari moved ahead of Renault thanks to Trulli's retirement, as Williams and Ferrari got both cars home on the lead lap. Toyota and Jaguar leap up three places after they also brought two cars home, as Jordan, BAR and Sauber all fall two places after none of their cars made it to the finish.

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 seven columns: the first five are the average of the fastest time recorded by each driver in each respective pre-race session over all rounds of the season; the sixth is the average of the fastest lap recorded in the race over all rounds of the season; and the seventh 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. This table is listed in alphabetical order.


The average positions table consists of seven columns: the first five are the average of the positions recorded by each driver in each pre-race session over all rounds of the season; the sixth is the average of the positions of the fastest lap over all rounds of the season; and the seventh is the average of the race finishing positions over all rounds of the season. This table is listed in alphabetical order.
