Total Driver Performance Total Driver Performance, or TDP is a metric to track which F1 driver is having the best season. Season standings don't always tell you who the best driver is, but this metric helps paint the picture. By taking average points scored per race divided by 25 (maximum possible per race) + average positions gained/lost per race divided by the individual driver's average starting position minus 1. That total is then divided by 2 to give us the TDP.
