Pit Stop Execution
Pit stops are a team effort — this score isolates the driver’s share: the approach and the getaway. Time spent stationary and the crew’s work are excluded by construction.
This season, Nico Hulkenberg leads Pit Stop Execution: 9.12 against the grid, across 10 rated races. The single best Pit Stop Execution performance of the year belongs to Lance Stroll — 10.0 at the NED.
How the grid reads on Pit Stop Execution in 2026
what the season table actually saysAt the top. Nico Hulkenberg leads Pit Stop Execution on 9.12, 0.21 clear of Yuki Tsunoda on 8.91. 23 drivers have enough running to be rated, and the field runs from 9.12 down to 6.53 — a spread of 2.60 of a grade point.
The speciality. Nico Hulkenberg is P1 on Pit Stop Execution but only P17 on The Index overall — 16 places better here than at everything else put together. On this one measure, this is what they are for.
The soft spot. Charles Leclerc runs the other way: P3 on The Index but only P21 here, 18 places worse. A driver good enough to rank high overall is giving something back on pit stop execution.
Same car, same measure. Team mates share machinery, so the gap between them is as close to a clean read as pit stop execution gets. The tightest pair on the grid is Alpine — Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto separated by just 0.01. The widest is Ferrari, where Lewis Hamilton is 1.39 ahead of Charles Leclerc.
What this number is not. Pit Stop Execution is one of nine independent measures, and a driver can lead it while sitting mid-table overall — the season grade in the last column is this metric alone, not a summary of the driver. It is also a rating against the rest of the grid this season, not against history: it says who is doing this best right now, not who has ever done it best.

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 they are not versions of the same number and the season figure is not the row added up. – = not classified that race (insufficient running, or the situation made the metric unmeasurable — the driver is never penalised for it), and never counted towards the season; the championship still accumulates per-race points.
