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 starting position of all drivers over all rounds of the Formula One season. The format, involving the aggregation of one lap on low fuel and one on race fuel, will shuffle the order, with variable weather and the occasional mistake introducing a further random element. In a change at the top, Giancarlo Fisichella sits on top while the driver who finished last year on top of this table, Michael Schumacher, is down in nineteenth.

By default, the table is sorted in by average qualifying position in ascending order, then by best qualifying position in ascending order, then by worst qualifying position 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, Giancarlo Fisichella is on top and Michael Schumacher is near the bottom. However, just behind Fisichella are Rubens Barrichello and Fernando Alonso who are closer to the middle of SuperGrid.

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. With Giancarlo Fisichella leading nearly every lap in Melbourne, this table is quite similar to the table above. This is certain to change as the season rolls on.

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. Unlike recent times, Ferrari is near the bottom of the table, along with Williams. Instead, Renault is on top ahead of McLaren, who make a return to (near the) top.

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.
