How it is modelled
ERA5's reanalysis, through Open-Meteo, of the circuit's whole local day and not the race's hours, for the grid cell the circuit sits in and not the track, so a shower can be missing from it.

Grid to flag
Lines run from grid slot to result, ending at the last lap completed. A dashed line ending in a cross is a driver not classified. Nothing between is recorded, so a crossing is not an overtake at that lap.

Before knock-out qualifying arrived in 2006 there is one time per driver; from 2006, the best lap of each of the three sessions.
How it is derived: distance, Qualifying
Distance at the session-best lap’s average speed, on the layout raced that year. Each driver is measured against the fastest lap of the last part they set a time in.

A sprint is a separate, shorter race held on the grand prix weekend, with its own grid and its own points — and those points count towards the championship. The grid column is the sprint grid, not the grand prix one.

The session that sets the sprint grid: the sprint shootout in 2023, sprint qualifying since, with the best lap of each of its three parts.
How it is derived: distance, Sprint qualifying
Distance at the session-best lap’s average speed, on the layout raced that year. Each driver is measured against the fastest lap of the last part they set a time in.
Pit stops
Bars run in finishing order, ticked at each stop. A cross is a driver not classified. Ticks and strip mark the lap, not cause, tyres or gain; the table gives times.
A pit-lane time is all of a stop’s time in the pit lane, any wait or repair there included.

Pairs of classified drivers who started or finished next to each other, each with a stop recorded; the two names in a row are in grid order. Both are read from the stops F1DB records, which has gaps. It is the order things happened in and no more: with no lap times, the record cannot say whether stopping first won or lost a place.
