EXPLANATIONS:
Expect: Expectation fulfillment. The driver's current points score as a percentage of the average points placed on him (not rounded off to integer points)
Surprise: The driver's points score as a percentage of the maximum points placed on him plus one. When this number is reached, the driver has achieved a 100% surprise, by beating the highest expectations on him for this season.
Beat: How many players' expectations the driver has managed to beat. The maximum amount is the number of entrants for the season; for 2023 this is 14.

In the actual WDC, Gasly ended up ahead of Ocon thanks to Sprint points. Close battle in either case!
Leclerc only moved ahead of Sainz at Abu Dhabi, so that one was much closer than our guesses suggest.
When I tell you to have a nice off-season, a merry christmas and a happy new year it's not me bossing you around, it is merely a suggestion. Do with it as you see fit!
