How this is calculated
Historical finishing rates: counts / starts. Points rate means P1–P10 classified finishes. DNS excluded; DNF includes retirements and disqualifications. Circuit filtering happens before the last-5/10 window; fewer starts use the available sample. Averages exclude missing positions; average finish uses classified results. Last 5 reads the latest five recorded results for this circuit filter, oldest to latest, including DNS. Rate denominators remain starts only.

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.
