this IS the season-average floor, the permanent benchmark, kept and scored every weekend
OFFICIAL qualifying model. Each driver's season-average qualifying position, blended with their cleaned qual-sim soft pace from practice.
It beat the season-average floor out of sample in all eight seasons tested (2019 to 2026), 16 of 16 season×session combinations.
The edge is modest, about a quarter of a grid place, and only 2026 was tested pre-registered and forward; the earlier seasons were tested retrospectively. The floor is still scored alongside it every weekend.

SPRINT WEEKEND: the practice blend cannot run. There is no FP2 or FP3 before qualifying, and FP1 is not a validated session for this model.
The official qualifying prediction for this round is therefore the season-average floor, exactly as it was before the blend was promoted. This is a clean fallback, not a degraded blend.

The floor is a METHOD, not a fixed number. It is each driver's season-average position, re-scored against every race, so it lands somewhere different every weekend depending on how chaotic that race was. Across 2026 it has scored anywhere from 2.27 to 7.36 places off. Only the within-weekend comparison in this table is valid; comparing this weekend's result against another weekend's floor compares two different races and means very little.

Average cleaned lap time per compound: lap 1, pit in/out laps, safety-car / VSC / red-flag laps, deleted and inaccurate laps all excluded. Multiple stints on the same compound are shown separately, each badged with its stint number. Only compounds actually used this session get a column. Fewer than 3 clean laps in a stint = a dash, not a misleading number. softmediumhardinterwet

Grip vs energy | where the lap time went
updatedDESCRIPTIVE, not a prediction. This shows where time was lost: the grip-limited part (cornering, braking, traction) and the part lost at full throttle on straights. It forecasts nothing and is not part of any model.
Validated on magnitude; resolution limited to roughly 0.35s. Checked against a confirmed one-car Mercedes software fault (Spa R10), it recovered 0.22s of Russell's 0.51s deficit against the team's own ~0.25s attribution, within 0.03s. But normal round-to-round variation in this measure is 0.35s for a consistent team and 0.7s across the field, so it cannot find a fault of that size unprompted It reads the right number when told where to look. Treat the straight-line column as where time went, not as a deployment diagnosis.

Treat the straight-line column as where time went, not as a deployment diagnosis.
DO NOT compare TEAMS on the straight-line column. The grid is now narrower than the instrument. Across 2026 qualifying the whole field spans 0.340s on that column against a resolution of about 0.35s, and only 8 of 55 team pairings have non-overlapping confidence intervals, with the top six indistinguishable. The between-team ranking supports no team-versus-team claim and should not be cited. Levels are flattered too: sessions discarded by the offsetting check are strongly biased toward FAST circuits (correlation +0.79), so every team is measured mostly on slower rounds than the calendar average.
USE THIS INSTEAD: the WITHIN-TEAM contrast, mechanical minus straight-line. The 0.35s limit does not apply to it. That figure was the spread of the same component between two DIFFERENT cars; this compares two components of the same car, same session, same reference lap, same driver, holding constant everything that makes a between-car comparison noisy. 10 of 11 teams are separable on it, against 8 of 55 pairings between teams. A positive number means the car loses more in the corners than on the straights.
Most grip-weak: Cadillac +3.14, Aston Martin +2.75. Most balanced: Mercedes +0.13. Ferrari is the only NEGATIVE (-0.17), losing more on the straights than in the corners, corroborated independently by the superclip metric, but its interval [-0.36, +0.02] includes zero, so it is PARKED, UNDERPOWERED, LEANING, neither confirmed nor refuted. See reports/straightline_ranking_2026.md.

Monza qualifying. Reference lap GAS 81.786s. Across this session 91% of all time lost was mechanical, 9% was lost on straights, and 0% is unattributed : full throttle through faster curves, where grip and power limit the car at once. Mechanical plus energy is therefore not the whole story.
For some teams the two cars' split offsets, so read the gap and not the breakdown. This weekend that applies to Aston Martin, Mercedes: their mechanical and straight-line figures swing against each other by more than the two cars are actually apart. The total gap is still right.
Two things can cause it and we cannot yet tell them apart: a genuine setup difference between the cars (different wing level: quicker on the straights, slower in the corners, similar lap time), or a limitation of the split. It is judged per session, not per team, because instability turns out to follow the circuit far more than the team.

MEASURED that this does NOT beat season average as a predictor of the
result, so do not treat it as a prediction. The SEASON column is our
validated form measure.
