GOAT?
Not sure.
If some clever person could work out percentage of wins and podiums against number of races completed
Discount DNF’s and divide the number of races Completed
This will give a reasonable comparison.
Much better than total numbers as in the good old days the careers were much shorter and grids smaller .
LH has had at least six seasons when he didn’t have fastest car. Jim Clark had the problems with reliability of Chapmans preparation..Fangio had the fastest car in80 % of his GP’s, MS had a question mark over the Walkenshaw cars early in career and a cavalier attitude in his Ferrari days
Interesting investigation for someone!
