F1 Records Unlikely To Be Broken

Alright, I'll take this low amount of winning even further. Phil Hill has the record for the least amount of wins in a career for a champion, with 3. Is anyone going to "beat" that? Nicky Hayden has, embarrassingly imo, equalled that in motogp.

In Hawthorn's case there were much fewer races in a season, so to put it into perspective with current almost 20 races, his wins have to be multiplied by 2 or 2.5.

Yep, that's a good point.

How about Stirling Moss's record for most wins without a title? It'd be pretty hard, even with the increasing amount of races. Coulthard couldn't break it, and he was in a prime position to do it. Going by jens's logic, Moss's record would be the equivalent of 40+ wins without knocking off a title!

edit: Come to think of it. I can now recall many races (at Williams and early McLaren years) was denied by mechanical, circumstantial, or other non-driving errors. If you gave him every race where he was in a strong, leading position, he'd easily have had 20+ wins!
