Across the 2025 season, there are a total of 30 qualifying sessions from the 24 grands prix and six sprint events.
With so many opportunities to get it right, or wrong, the data between teammates can be interesting to see who is faster over a single lap - often measured as a big yard-stick for drivers.
In the table below, we have calculated the head-to-head qualifying scores, the average time difference and the average position each driver has taken so far this season.
The table does not include sprint events, which are in a second table below.
To calculate the average time difference, we have taken the outright fastest lap time set by each driver in qualifying, with their average positions calculated by final grid position after any changes for penalties which affected their position up or down. Pit-lane starts are counted as P20.
