I'm just seeing it for the first time.
Unfortunately, it is not clear whether the inflationary increase in points is somehow taken into account.
Does the statistics take this into account?
Otherwise these statistics would be complete nonsense.
They aren’t complete nonsense, they take the points into account as they were scored during each race. Nobody has a problem with Hamilton’s point while people who went before that also scored much less and had much less races. They are just that, points as actually granted. No ifs and buts. There were f.e. Also double points races in the past. I am sure we will have even more races in the future.
If you want to calculate back to somekind of fair system I will post a link hereunder. But it will never be not nonsense then as now we have sprints, the bonus point for fastest lap is back again, and thus actually contested. Etc. Etc.

But I disagree that it is nonsense, Max has been slowly creeping towards that number 1 spot for years and he just recently took it.
