Overall positions and class labels retain the selected source. A source entry, non-starter or crew mention is not automatically a confirmed start. Car numbers remain strings, including leading zeros.

Published names remain separate unless their normalized full labels match exactly. No merger of initials, team lineages or car variants is inferred.
