Data quality notes
- Championship points are the live-timing feed's per-round standings snapshots — authoritative, including fastest-lap bonuses (headline ANT 390; the previous static report derived points without the FL bonus and showed lower totals).
- Sprint points (China ran a sprint) are embedded in the snapshot totals; sprint sessions themselves are not loaded as rounds.
- Poles are the fastest driver in GP qualifying; sprint-qualifying poles are not counted.
- DNFs count non-classified finishes; a driver parked in the final laps but still classified counts as a finish.
- Pace metrics are medians of green-flag, non-pit laps per round (caution windows from track status, yellow only when ≥ 60 s; laps slower than 1.4× the green median discarded). DNF rounds show no pace: a partial race's median isn't comparable — cars get lighter as fuel burns off, so lap times fall through a race.
- The pit-stop feed is partial for some rounds — 590 stationary times across the season.
