A race grade rates one afternoon; a season grade rates a driver across the year against the rest of the grid. They answer different questions, so the season figure is not the row added up. – = not classified that race, never counted towards the season.

top 10 driver-race gradesHow the grid reads on Consistency in 2026
This season, Yuki Tsunoda leads Consistency: 9.84 against the grid, across 3 rated races. The single best Consistency performance of the year belongs to Lewis Hamilton — 9.8 at the CAN.
At the top. Yuki Tsunoda leads Consistency on 9.84, 0.69 clear of Kimi Antonelli on 9.14. 23 drivers have enough running to be rated, and the field runs from 9.84 down to 6.31 — a spread of 3.52 of a grade point.
The speciality. Yuki Tsunoda is P1 on Consistency but only P14 on The Index overall — 13 places better here than at everything else put together.
The soft spot. Fernando Alonso runs the other way: P5 on The Index but only P21 here, 16 places worse.
Same car, same measure. The tightest team-mate pair on the grid is Audi — Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg separated by just 0.00. The widest is Mercedes, where Kimi Antonelli is 1.05 ahead of George Russell.
What this number is not. Consistency is one of nine independent measures, and a driver can lead it while sitting mid-table overall. It is a rating against the rest of the grid this season, not against history.
