Abstract
As this book draws to its end, it is the moment to present and briefly discuss the descriptive statistics of the data previously used. We will start with a proper reflection on data availability concerning the universe of Formula One and the cautions which must be noted by any researcher intending to work with motorsports data. Employing tables of descriptive statistics, this chapter will also take the opportunity to review some of the impressive records of Formula One drivers, teams, and countries.
