Qualifying vs teammate
−0.119s faster than Isack Hadjar, median across the season.
Median rather than average, so one wet session or a session-ending crash doesn’t swing it. Teammates share a car, which makes this the one lap-time comparison that belongs to the driver rather than the machinery.

+/− is grid slot to chequered flag. Retirements and non-classifications have no finishing position, so they score no delta rather than counting as places lost. Points are the round total including the sprint, which is why the season figure matches the championship.
