Sources & scope
Cumulative wins after each recorded Grand Prix entry, ordered by race date. Each main-race result advances the axis, including retirements and disqualifications. This is an entry/result axis, not an official race-start count. Sprints and qualifying are excluded. A win is a finishing position of 1. No future results are projected. Milestone snapshot stops at the first confirmed crossing or the configured cutoff, whichever comes first. Career totals use only results dated on or before the subject snapshot. Same-milestone comparisons require a verified appearance/start axis. Unknown statistics are omitted.
