The Schumacher records Hamilton can beat
The Schumacher records Hamilton can beat
GRAND PRIX WINS IN CONSECUTIVE SEASONS
Schumacher: 15
Hamilton: 13*
Schumacher's record of winning at least one race in 15 consecutive seasons will surely be equalled if Hamilton extends his contract beyond the end of 2020.
In his very first season in F1, Hamilton matched Jacques Villeneuve's benchmark for the most wins by a rookie and has since gone on to register at least one race victory in each of his subsequent 12 seasons, adding at least nine in each of his past five seasons.
GRANDS PRIX LED
Schumacher: 142
Hamilton: 148*
One that Hamilton has stormed to since this article was first published. He secured the record at the Russian Grand Prix, the 14th of 16 races he had lapped in P1 during the 2019 season.
Schumacher's 142 races led during his career was a massive 56 more than the next man on the list, Senna, until the emergence of Hamilton and Vettel. Vettel has led 105 grands prix during his career.
Hamilton has only failed to take the lead in 22 of the 121 races held in the V6 Hybrid era. He will more than likely retire having led more than half of the races he'll have entered during his F1 career.
GRAND PRIX HAT-TRICKS (POLE, WIN, FASTEST LAP)
Schumacher: 22
Hamilton: 15*
Schumacher's record of 22 hat-tricks, or grand slams, was largely cemented during his five dominant championship-winning seasons at Ferrari from 2000 to 2004. Similarly, Hamilton has achieved 12 during the hybrid era.
It's a difficult record to surpass as it requires Hamilton to not only have a dominant car underneath him for the remainder of his contract but to also string together a series of near-perfect weekends - not as easy as it sounds.
GRAND PRIX PODIUMS
Schumacher: 155
Hamilton: 151*
Hamilton has taken to the podium in 60% of his F1 races to date, a better hit rate than anyone in the modern era.
He has frequented the F1 podium so often in the hybrid era that he must now be considering having his mail redirected there.
An astonishing 80% of races since the start of 2014 have featured Hamilton spraying champagne after the chequered flag has fallen. This is another one that looks certain to leave Schumacher's hands.
LONGEST INTERVAL BETWEEN FIRST AND LAST WIN
Schumacher: 14 years, 1 month
Hamilton: 11 years, 10 months*
They say you should never tempt fate - indeed this piece used to be the eight Schumacher records that Hamilton could beat.
But then Kimi Raikkonen had to go and get involved, winning the 2018 United States GP and massively extending the record for gap between first and last wins, which now stands at over 15 years.
Hamilton would have to be racing - and winning - until 2022 to take this one. The catwalk and recording studio may have called him away by then...
That win came 15 years, 6 months and 28 days after Kimi Raikkonen's first win at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix, therefore he has just broken a Michael Schumacher record that has stood for 12 years for the longest duration between first and last Grand Prix wins. #F1 #USGP š
