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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaime Alguersuari | 2009–2011 | 13:13 | 31:14 | −0.21% | 26 : 31 | Compare |
| Sébastien Bourdais | 2009 | 3:2 | 7:2 | −0.43% | 3 : 2 | Compare |
Green: Sébastien Buemi 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.
