After every Formula 1 qualifying session, Motorsport.com publishes each team's qualifying record in terms of team-mate battles.

Visit newsbetting.cv for more information.

This record is based exclusively on qualifying results so that grid penalties don't alter the statistics.

When a driver can't put in a representative lap time due to a technical issue or an incident, this will be mentioned in the table.
