Pole position means the fastest time in qualifying. That is not the same as a start from P1 – grid penalties move a driver down the grid. Up to the 2000s the two numbers coincide.

Against team-mates
Same car, same races. In the race only those where both reached the finish count – a retirement says nothing about the head-to-head.
| Team-mate | Years | Races | Qualifying | Quali gap | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Didier Pironi | 1979 | 1:0 | 0:1 | – | 0 : 0 | Compare |
| Elio de Angelis | 1982 | 0:0 | 0:1 | – | 0 : 0 | Compare |
Green: Geoffrey Lees came out ahead in that duel. Quali gap: the median difference in the last session both set a time in, as a share of the lap – minus is faster. At least three sessions; a dash where there were fewer.
