Lewis Hamilton is on the verge of making history in Formula One as he looks to win a record eighth world championship heading into the 2021 season. Current record: Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton (seven). Current record: Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel (13). Current record: Michael Schumacher (French GP – eight) Lewis Hamilton (Hungarian GP – eight). There are two records for the price of one here, with Hamilton also looking to steal Schumacher’s record for the most wins at a single venue. Current record: Ayrton Senna (San Marino GP – eight) Lewis Hamilton (Australian GP – eight). Current record: Michael Schumacher (10) and Kimi Raikkonen (10). Current record: Nigel Mansell (British GP – seven), Michael Schumacher (Spanish GP – seven and Lewis Hamilton (Italian GP – seven). Current record: Michael Schumacher (24) and Lewis Hamilton (24). Hamilton just needs one fastest lap to take this record from Schumacher and he has a decent amount of options to do so. Here is one record Schumacher has that while not impossible to break is going to be mighty difficult to do so. Current record: Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton (17). With a tally of 5,099 laps led, he is only 12 laps shy of Schumacher. Hamilton and Mercedes would have to have a catastrophic year of unthinkable proportions to deny him this record.
