“Points scored” adds up every point from the races. The championship column is where the season actually finished, which before 1991 could be lower once dropped scores were applied. Open a season for its full table.

A team-mate is anyone entered for the same constructor in the same Grand Prix, and each pair of figures is Éric Bernard’s first. Races counts every Grand Prix both were entered for, started or not. Qualifying counts the races both have a qualifying position in; Race only those both were classified in, so a retirement on either side counts for neither, and reads none where there was no such race; Points are each driver’s own from those Grands Prix, before any dropped scores and without Sprint points. Before the 1980s a constructor’s cars were often entered by private teams as well as its own, so a pairing then can be two drivers who never shared a garage. The figures say who was ahead, not who was better.

Entries is counted here from the race records, one for every race a driver was entered for, and wins, podiums and poles are counted the same way and checked against the published totals on every build. Starts is counted from those records too: an entry is a start unless the result the source printed says it never was - did not qualify, pre-qualify, start or practise, or excluded before the start - so a pit-lane start counts and so does a retirement on the first lap. The published entry and start figures are a separate count kept for the few drivers who have one, reached by rules this database does not hold. Where a published figure and the counted one disagree, both are shown and neither is corrected.
