2004 SuperStats: Canadian GP

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 final session 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 final session qualifier (by average Saturday final session qualifying position) as well as the average of the season's pole position times, SuperPole. The format, involving one quick lap and unknown fuel loads, will shuffle the order, with the occasional mistake introducing a further random element. Michael Schumacher remains on top of the table with Rubens Barrichello tied with Juan Pablo Montoya. Pole for Ralf Schumacher and a disaster for Takuma Sato sees both Ralf and Fernando Alonso move ahead of Sato.

Currently, SuperPole is 1m22.126.

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. As in SuperGrid, Michael Schumacher remains on top, with Rubens Barrichello close behind, Jenson Button next, Jarno Trulli right on his tail, Fernando Alonso's crash dropping him behind Trulli. Ralf Schumacher's disqualification probably cost him moving up a place or two. As usual there are a group of drivers in the midpack separated by only a place or two.

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. Rubens Barrichello continues his small lead from Jenson Button, with Jarno Trulli dropping six places after retiring at the start. Juan Pablo Montoya, who was disqualified, winner Michael Schumacher, Felipe Massa who crashed late in the race and disqualifed Olivier Panis are all closely bunched next. At the other end we still have last year's title runner-up Kimi Raikkonen, still behind Pantano despite Pantano not racing in Canada.

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. Ferrari remain on top of this table with Sauber and BAR moving ahead of Renault after their double DNF, Williams and Toyota close behind. McLaren remain at the bottom of the table despite both cars making it to the finish in the points.

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 six are the average of the fastest time recorded by each driver in each respective pre-race session over all rounds of the season while 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 eight columns: the first six are the average of the positions recorded by each driver in each pre-race session over all rounds of the season; the seventh is the average of the positions of the fastest lap over all rounds of the season; and the eighth is the average of the race finishing positions over all rounds of the season. This table is listed in alphabetical order.


A recent addition to Superstats, the following tables show how many kilometres the various drivers and teams cover each racing weekend, in these days of 'limited' engine life under the one engine per weekend rule. Which drivers complete the most kilometres, whether those teams that run third cars complete more kilometres than those that don't or can't and whether a team is conserving the amount of running on its engines can be seen here.

By default, the table is sorted by total km in descending order.
