Year 1 is each driver’s first imported racing season. Missing earlier seasons will move this alignment automatically as the archive fills; sabbaticals are skipped.

1966–2026 · 61 imported seasons. Career figures reflect imported data. Race starts exclude DNS and non-qualifiers; poles use race grid position. Points use official season standings.

Points systems have changed over time. Raw totals are retained above; the rates block also provides a rescaled points comparison.
