Note that the 2000 Voting season was cut short. Also note that different points systems applied over the years makes this stat a bit... pointless.
Below I have used the names "Lotus 2" for the recent green cars and "Lotus 3" for the recent black car.

Below are a few stats about how the Quality and Satisfaction Rating
averages given for the races since 2002 correlate to Race and
Voting results for drivers/teams, track etc.
1 GP Rating raw data
The Quality and Satisfaction values used are all with exactly two decimals, for better or worse.
Here are links to the final threads for each season, with ratings for the season listed:

*The total number of races rated is 198.
*Quality has been higher than Satisfaction 111 times.
*Quality and Satisfaction have been within 1 point of each other 115 times and within 0.1 points 18 times, but never exactly equal.
*Biggest Q-S differences:
