Tenths Apart covers qualifying performance only β race results, championship points, and race pace are not considered. A driver who dominates qualifying but struggles on Sunday will look very strong here, and vice versa.
Every figure is the driver's qualifying time minus their teammate's, measured in seconds. A negative number means the driver was quicker; a positive number means the teammate was quicker.
Only teammates at the same constructor in the same event are ever compared β there's no cross-team element. A pairing must have at least 3 qualifying events together before it appears in any comparison or season summary.
Modern knockout qualifying has three sessions (Q1 β Q2 β Q3). We use the highest session in which both drivers set a representative time β specifically within 7% of the fastest car in that session. Starting from Q3 and working down, the first session where both pass that test is used.
This means if Driver A only reached Q2 while Driver B made Q3, the Q2 times are compared. If one driver's time was more than 7% off the pace in every session β due to a problem, a deliberate slow lap, or a red flag β that round is recorded as N/A.
For older qualifying formats (pre-1996), each driver's best valid lap across all available sessions is used instead.
Once all rounds for a pair are collected, each one is checked against the spread of the full season. A round is excluded if its gap is statistically anomalous β larger in magnitude than one standard deviation above the average gap.
This handles events where one driver had a mechanical problem, a crash, or another non-representative result that would otherwise distort the picture.
Both figures are calculated only from included rounds. The median is often the more reliable number β it's less sensitive to any outliers that still made it through the filter. The average can be pulled by one or two unusually large gaps.
