These averages are based upon number of races which were not ended with equippment failure or DQ (thus number of shunts and collisions does reduce average). Thus it was intended to eliminate equippment unreliability from the equation supposedly reflecting drivers performance.
So, do these number mean anything? Of course, there are some differences in respect to driving 15 laps on old 'Ring in Lotus 18 and 40ish laps on Hungaroring in 2000 spec McLaren, but they cannot be represented by such statistics.

P.S. If table breaks apart, just copy this message and paste it into Notepad or something similar (I almost wrote 'MS Notepad', but thought it may sonfuse someone- 'Hey, what has Schumacher to do with Windows?')
