Explanation
In the wins vs poles ratios view, drivers are compared based on the ratios between wins and poles. Use the switch in the top left to switch between the views. This view provides insights in performance of drivers in their ability to drive for the win (win-to-pole) or be blindingly fast over one lap, but lack or have the misfortune not to convert them in to wins.
Notes: drivers with only wins or only poles are not included in this list in the base list, but are listed seperately for reference. No other restrictions are applied in terms of number of wins, poles or GP.
