With Hamilton officially announcing his campaign for F1 in 2022, he will also continue to make his 8th world title, surpassing the car king Schumacher. In addition to the record of seven world titles, Hamilton also has the opportunity to break other F1 records held by Schumacher.
Represented a team in consecutive races
Hamilton has represented McLaren in 110 Grands Prix and has represented Mercedes in 178 Grands Prix so far last year. In just two races, Hamilton was able to tie Schumacher's record of 180 consecutive races for a team, which was set at Ferrari. If all goes well, in the 3rd race of the 2022 season, the first name in history will be changed to Hamilton.
Consecutive season winning records
In the 2021 season, Hamilton has equalized Schumacher's record, and both have achieved the feat of winning at least one Grand Prix in 15 consecutive seasons. After the 2022 season, Hamilton will most likely monopolize this record.
Fastest lap
Hamilton achieved 59 fastest laps in his career, and Schumacher's record stands at 77, a record that will be difficult to break in the 2022 season.
Hat-trick
Pole position, regular wins and fastest laps, Hamilton has completed 19 hat-tricks and Schumacher is 22. If mercedes are strong, Hamilton is expected to break that record.
Consecutive podium finishes
Schumacher set a record of 19 consecutive races on the podium in the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Hamilton achieved a record of 16 consecutive races in 2014 and 2015. With 23 games in the 2022 season, it's not impossible to break the record.
Number of times the same Grand Prix has been won
Schumacher has a record of 8 victories at the French Grand Prix, and Hamilton has won 8 at both the British Grand Prix and the Hungarian Grand Prix, meaning that as long as he wins any of them, Hamilton will be the sole record holder.
Most wins of the season
In the 2014, 2018, 2019 and 2020 seasons, Hamilton won 11 games each. The record for the most wins of the current season is shared by Schumacher and Vettel, who set a record of 13 wins in a single season in 2002 and 2004 and Vettel in the 2013 season.
World Champion
This record is the simplest, hamilton and Schumacher are currently seven-time world champions. Hamilton lost his title in the final moments last season and if he wins in 2022, he will be the driver with the largest number of world champions in F1 history.
Won consecutive world championships
Schumacher achieved five consecutive titles from 2000 to 2004, a record that Hamilton had a chance of equalizing, but was blocked by Verstappen. This record Hamilton should not be able to achieve beyond.
