Grid to flag
Lines run from grid slot to result, ending at the last lap completed. A dashed line ending in a cross is a driver not classified. Nothing between is recorded, so a crossing is not an overtake at that lap.

A sprint is a separate, shorter race held on the grand prix weekend, with its own grid and its own points — and those points count towards the championship. The grid column is the sprint grid, not the grand prix one.

The session that sets the sprint grid: the sprint shootout in 2023, sprint qualifying since, with the best lap of each of its three parts.
Pit stops
Bars run in finishing order, ticked on each lap a driver stopped. An unticked bar may hide a stop: F1DB’s record has gaps. A cross is a driver not classified. Only the lap is recorded: not a stop’s length, tyres or gain.

Pairs of classified drivers who started or finished next to each other, each with a stop recorded; the two names in a row are in grid order. Both are read from the stops F1DB records, which has gaps. It is the order things happened in and no more: with no stop duration and no lap times, the record cannot say whether stopping first won or lost a place.
