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.

How the grid reads on Pit Stop Execution in 2026

This season, Nico Hulkenberg leads Pit Stop Execution: 8.98 against the grid, across 14 rated races. The single best Pit Stop Execution performance of the year belongs to Lance Stroll — 10.0 at the NED.

At the top. Nico Hulkenberg leads Pit Stop Execution on 8.98, 0.07 clear of Lance Stroll on 8.91. 23 drivers have enough running to be rated, and the field runs from 8.98 down to 6.74 — a spread of 2.24 of a grade point.

The speciality. Lance Stroll is P2 on Pit Stop Execution but only P17 on The Index overall — 15 places better here than at everything else put together.

The soft spot. Charles Leclerc runs the other way: P3 on The Index but only P22 here, 19 places worse.

Same car, same measure. The tightest team-mate pair on the grid is Alpine — Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly separated by just 0.01. The widest is Ferrari, where Lewis Hamilton is 1.26 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. It is a rating against the rest of the grid this season, not against history.
