Not asking who will break the records and when they will be broken. The question is simply which is hardest to break. Before anyone asks me if I am discrediting the two recent record-breaking rookie drivers, let me clarify that the only records included are cumulative records that a driver compiles over an entire career. Age-based records are not included.

If you think this poll is stupid, fine! If you think it is pointless without including age-based records, great! No one has to respond, but if you do respond, all I ask is that you do so without preventing others from discussing the topic.

91 Wins - Average F1 career is 10-yr. so an average of 9 wins per yr. is needed, 2nd (Prost) and 3rd (Senna) in all-time wins F1 have 92 wins combined
7 Titles - It took nearly 50-years for the Fangio's 5 titles to be eclipsed.
68 Poles - It took Schumacher a lot more races than Senna to take this record
76 Fastest Laps - Total exceeds 2nd and 3rd in all-time fastest laps (Prost and Mansell) by five
256 Races - Barrichello is close, assuming no accidents or pink slips he should set the record, not sure if this should be included then
47.06% Winning Percentage - Senna and Prost had 25% career winning percentage, Schumacher retired with 36.4%.

** I was hoping that Senna would hold on to his 65 poles in the record book.
