    So he only has 92 wins from 97 poles = 95%
    Schumacher 91 wins from only 66 poles = 138%

    So not bad but he obviously has some way to go to prove himself.

    SCH is never going to be able to make up that extra 'way to go' in
    getting pole positions ...

    Not a valid comparison. In the refuelling era it was often a strategic decision to not be on pole with more fuel and harder tyres to run longer in the first stint.
    How many wins did Schumacher achieve when driving under the same race format?? --- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32

    That's an unusual stat.

    Some others:

    Hulme 800.00 8 wins 1 pole #
    Verstappen 450.00 9 2
    Scheckter 333.33 10 3 #
    G Villeneuve 300.00 6 2
    Boutsen 300.00 3 1
    Watson 250.00

    Ricciardo 233.33
    Jones 200.00 #
    Reutemann 200.00
    Brooks 200.00
    Button 187.50 #
    Stewart 158.82 #
    Prost 154.55 #
    Alonso 145.45 #

    Not a complete list of those above 145.
