Most percent of laps led in F1 season

Jesus, that really goes to show the dominance of that car/driver combo this season.

I'm sure we've all sat through those more recent previous seasons on that list and thought they were were just as rediculously dominant, but this really puts a quash on that idea. Lewis in 2020, or the Schumacher and Vettel years were memorably insane.

I have no doubt that Max is already deserving of a place in the room of F1 greats, but it's worth remembering as well that him being at the top of this list doesn't mean he is the best. Just like Vettel having more entries on that list doesn't make him better than Hamilton, or that Schumacher is better than everyone else. It's frankly impossible to really compare them to each other since they drive different cars in slightly different eras against different team mates.

For example would Max have dominated so much this season so far if he had Rosberg with his 2016 level of commitment in him as a teammate? Would Schumacher had more hits on that list if he wasn't racing against Hakkinen for some of his carrer? Would Vettel have had more entries on the list if RB had given him a more competitive car for more seasons
