Reading these numbers
Season length has grown from 7 races in 1950 to over 20 today, and the points system has changed nine times. Raw win and points totals therefore favour modern drivers; the rate columns (win rate, podium rate, points per start) are the fairer cross-era comparison.
Totals are summed from individual race classifications through 2026 round 12. See our methodology for how each statistic is counted.
