File:F1 winners record progression.svg
Hi Bamkin. In case you didn't see this edit, an IP editor has pointed out an error in File:F1 winners record progression.svg - Clark died in 1968, so the solid blue line end in 1968, not 1972. Also, he broke Fangio's record in 1968 and held the record from 1968-1973, not 1972-1973. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 22:15, 19 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello DH85868993, thank you very much for the notification. I have not checked this, but am sure it needs fixing.
 * For now, I have removed the graph until it can be fixed. This will probably be Monday (Sunday USA time).
 * Needless to say, although it's usually easier for the OP to navigate such edits, the graphs are on WikiCommons, so open for others to edit - I tried to write them in an edit-friendly way, within the constraints of my ability and what is possible with SVG.

F1 race winners chart
Hello Bamkin,

Firstly I just want to make it clear that I'm not complaining. However I was curious about the F1 race winners chart, as I presume it is yourself that updates the chart? I was just curious about the situation with Alberto Ascari, as it shows on your current chart with world champions included, at one point Ascari has the most wins, from 1953 and had the joint most wins with Fangio at the conclusion of the 1954 season, before Fangio takes off and makes the record his own. I can understand not including the first season completely as you'd have to include Giuseppe Farina and Johnnie Parsons, however I was wondering what you thought about the inclusion of Ascari into the graph, as he had the most wins in the sport for over a season, I feel it would be fair for him to be represented in the statistics.

Thank you for what you have done with the graphs, and showing data in such a clear and easy way to read.

 * OLLSZCZ, hi
 * Thank you for your comment and interest. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a couple of comments on this graphic. I have been updating this chart. Of course it is open source, but it is often faster for the OP to update whilst active. I do not think that this is a minor question.
 * Firstly, the truth. As you say, I think it is fair to take the snapshot at the end of each season to avoid the complications of 1950. I also thought a lot about Ascari. His achievements in those few years were impressive and, much more to the point, he held this record for well over one year. In honesty, I left out Ascari because of space in the legend - which is not a fair reason. Also, Ascari's chart line should go in front of Fangio's on the first cross and behind it on the second cross. This is doable. I will work on this next time the chart stats needs updating, which shouldn't be too long. Bamkin (talk) 14:30, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Grand Prix winners graph
I think Senna is missing from the grey lines of WDCs who never held the most wins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.196.216.157 (talk) 13:26, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Senna is not missing. Bamkin (talk) 06:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
