Measured at the circuit during each session. Track temperature is the surface, not the air — the gap between them is what the tyres actually feel.

Every position taken on track, from the timing feed. Pit stops and lapped traffic are excluded, and a place that changes hands more than once — a DRS train, say — counts each time. That makes this a larger number than a broadcast overtake count, which measures something narrower.

Stop is the car stationary in its box — the figure the sport quotes — and is recorded only from 2024, incompletely. Pit lane is entry to exit, runs from 2011, and depends on the circuit as much as the crew.
