Also in the 80s sometimes there were only 14 races not the 24 we have today and some teams didn't even keep the same driver for the season again fairly uncommon now.
Bring the two together and if you have a dominant car that is reliable, its easy to blow the stats thus Lewis currently high number and now Max quickly catching up.

No doubt but the win percentage will definitely be very respectable.
Lewis has the most inflated stats of all time.
