Joking aside, through three races I think the only cases of 'out-performance' between teammates are at Mercedes, Renault, and Williams. That being said, it's still way too early to draw any meaningful conclusions...

This will make for an interesting topic over the course of the year due to the driver pairings!
BPR is interesting. It's another (among many others) performance measurement system, based on more or less the same items but combined in a different way.

Some basic differences are it is a "continuous" system, this is a "discrete" one. Also, BPR uses a sort of trend effect (perhaps with a moving average) in its Power Rating, mine is more as its "Average Rating" (but BPR filters out the "bad" (unreliable?) GPs of each driver, this system don't do it).

For forecasting purposes I use another "system" , but it is another topic.

The accent of this stat is focused on face-to-face team mates struggle.

The good thing is the more numbers we have, the more fun (and headache) we get.
