Heights come from Wikidata (CC0); a dash means no verified figure. Ages are calculated from the date of birth on the day the page was generated.
Good to know
- Since 2019 the driver-plus-seat minimum weight (80 kg) stops heavier drivers from being penalised; taller drivers still fit more tightly.
- Ages update automatically from the date of birth.
