- The position distribution graphs shows the spread of positions both in the race and in qualifying for the drivers in this season
- The overview of wins, fastest laps and poles is provided for the selected season (including the team for which the driver achieved the results).
- The all time points overview is the same as the all time section while only showing the drivers from this season (for their complete career, so not untill this season).
