Overtaking guide
Historical frequencyInsufficient data — no sourced race totals yet.
Rating: insufficient data. At least 3 sourced races are required.
tenthz’s guide uses historical reported counts. Weather, strategy, field size and regulations affect the totals; this is not an official F1 rating or a prediction for the next race.
Definition, coverage and race totals
Average = sum of all sourced Grand Prix totals divided by the number of sourced races. Each race counts once. Missing totals are excluded, never counted as zero. We do not add separate Sprint totals. Hard means under 30, Medium 30 to under 60, and Easy 60 or more reported overtakes per race. These are fixed tenthz editorial bands, not a ranking against a changing sample of circuits.
Source: F1’s “Need to Know” race previews. The published totals are reproduced as reported; those articles do not specify all counting exclusions. We do not infer them from finishing positions or OpenF1 position swaps. Years and layouts may differ from today’s circuit; a source check does not establish complete historical coverage.
Circuit history and previous experience
Circuit history
Results from earlier Grands Prix at this venue.
From grid to finish
Drivers finished 2.62 places ahead of their starting position on average.
Across 621 classified driver results in 42 Grands Prix (1973–2025).
- Finished ahead of grid64% (398/621)
- Kept starting position13% (79/621)
- Finished behind grid23% (144/621)
These are start-to-finish changes, not a count of on-track overtakes. Pit stops, penalties and retirements ahead can all affect the result.
How this is calculated
Starting grid position minus official classified finishing position. P10 to P7 is a gain of three places. Each eligible driver result counts once; unclassified results, disqualifications, non-starters and unknown grids are excluded. This describes historical results, not how easy it is to overtake. Circuit layouts and regulations may differ across the years shown.

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.
