British Grand Prix

Round 9 of 11 · DriverIndex best: GAS · official winner: LEC

DriverIndex's rating-based ranking puts Pierre Gasly on top for the British Grand Prix, ahead of official winner Charles Leclerc. The stand-out single-metric performance of the weekend was Charles Leclerc's Cleanliness (100.0). Max Verstappen shows the widest gap between the two rankings this weekend: P4 in the DriverIndex classification against P20 officially — 16 places better once the car is stripped out.

Pace Race pace — all drivers Every clean racing lap, one column per driver, ordered fastest to slowest. The shaded box marks each driver’s typical range and the solid line their average; the small histogram on the right shows how all the field’s lap times were distributed.

Pace Race pace — top 10 The same lap-by-lap picture as the full-field chart, narrowed to the top 10 finishers so the pace battle at the front isn’t crowded out by the midfield.

Pace Race pace — bottom 10 The same lap-by-lap picture, narrowed to the bottom 10 finishers — often where the closest, scrappiest racing of the day happened.

Pace Summarised pace distribution Lays every lap a driver completed end to end, each one sized by how far off the race’s single fastest lap it was. A driver who stayed close to the ultimate pace all race ends with a short bar; one who shed time lap after lap ends with a long one.

Pace Head-to-head pace delta matrix Every driver’s average race pace compared against every other driver’s, one pair at a time. Read across a row to see exactly how much faster or slower that driver was than the rest of the field.

Pace Fuel-corrected pace ranking Ranks drivers by typical lap time after levelling out the fuel each car was carrying — a heavy car early in the race is unavoidably slower than the same car on a near-empty tank late on, so the correction puts every lap on equal footing.

Pace Lap-time consistency Measures how tightly a driver’s lap times clustered together once the natural trend of a tyre stint — cars speeding up as fuel burns off, slowing as tyres wear — is stripped out. A small number reads as metronomic; a large one reads as an up-and-down afternoon.

Traffic Laps spent in traffic Counts how many laps each driver spent running close behind another car rather than in clean air, shown both as a share of their race and in raw seconds lost — traffic that can flatter or mask a driver’s true pace.

Traffic Traffic heatmap (lap by lap) The same traffic measurement laid out lap by lap across the whole race, so you can see exactly when each driver got stuck in a queue and when they broke free into open track.

Traffic Clean air vs dirty air pace Compares each driver’s pace when running unobstructed against their pace while stuck within two seconds of the car ahead — showing who lost the most time to traffic, and who was on the attack rather than stuck in it.

Racecraft Teammate head-to-head The most controlled comparison the sport offers: same car, same weekend. Shows which driver in each team had the faster qualifying lap and which had the faster race pace, and by how much.

Racecraft Positions: start vs finish Tracks positions gained or lost twice over — from the grid to the end of the opening lap, and separately from the grid all the way to the chequered flag.

Racecraft Overtakes made & suffered Counts genuine on-track passes — not positions swapped through pit stops — made and suffered by each driver, sorted by their net total for the race.

Strategy Tyre strategy & stints Every driver’s tyre strategy laid out as a timeline: which compound they started and switched to, how many laps each set covered, and when each stop happened.

Strategy Tyre degradation by compound Tracks how much pace each tyre compound loses as it ages within a stint, averaged across every driver who ran it — the steeper the line, the faster that compound fades.
