Over the races in which both drivers had a result for the team. Qualifying: who qualified ahead (from the starting grid: there is no qualifying data for this season). Race: who finished ahead, counted only when both were classified. Points: race and sprint points from those races, before dropped results (not every result counted towards the championship). In early seasons the team is the chassis maker, so privateers in the same make count as teammates; the Indianapolis 500 is left out.
