Expected Position
Where did the driver finish compared with where their car should finish? Every car has a natural slot in the field; beating that slot earns credit, falling short costs it. Car failures are handled so a driver is never punished for machinery that broke underneath them.
This season, Max Verstappen leads Expected Position with a 81.4 average across 10 rated races. The single best Expected Position performance of the year belongs to Lewis Hamilton — 97.4 at the ESP.

– = not classified that race (insufficient running, or the situation made the metric unmeasurable — the driver is never penalised for it). Average counts only the races the driver was scored in; the championship still accumulates per-race points, never averages.
