More wins means he's likely not the fastest, could have the best team and strategists, more steady than impressive, but may have better racecraft.
Most records are easy when you have the best car.

Fangio, drove in less World Championship races than any modern driver, because there were far fewer in the '50's, but he won 50% of them.
When will THAT record be beaten?
