LEWIS HAMILTON has matched the legendary Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 race wins after a faultless performance at the Eifel GP. In an incident-packed race at Nurburgring, the Brit finished ahead of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo after Valtteri Bottas was forced to retire early on. Hamilton started the race in second behind team-mate Valtteri Bottas and survived an early scare when the two cars touched on the first corner. Verstappen maintained his record of a podium finish in every race he has finished this season while Ricciardo’s was his first of the season and Renault’s first in nine long years.
