Pole conversion counts wins from pole. Lower DNF rate is better. Era normalisation scales each season’s points so a win is worth 25; winner awards are inferred from imported results until local scoring rules are supplied.

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.
