Mercedes driver Hamilton equalled F1 legend Michael Schumacher's record of 155 by coming second at the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix last weekend and took outright ownership of the benchmark by triumphing바카라 웹사이트Barcelona.
The 35-year-old leads the drivers' standings in 2020 as he looks to match Schumacher's tally of seven world championship triumphs.
Following Hamilton's latest achievement, we look at how their records compare.
Both바카라 웹사이트Schumacher and Hamilton claimed their sixth world titles at the age of 34.바카라 웹사이트The German surpassed Juan Manuel Fangio's haul of five in 2002, amid a five-year stretch of dominance that culminated with his seventh crown 16 years ago, while Hamilton achieved that last year with his third straight championship win.
Hamilton is yet to dominate a season in quite the same way Schumacher managed, though –바카라 웹사이트the latter바카라 웹사이트won 13 of 18 races in 2004, while the former's best was 11 of 19 in 2014.
The Briton has already surpassed the German when it comes to securing pole positions –바카라 웹사이트Hamilton has topped qualifying on 92바카라 웹사이트occasions, compared to Schumacher's 68.바카라 웹사이트
It must be noted, of course, that Schumacher's statistics are somewhat skewed by his three seasons in an uncompetitive Mercedes after coming out of retirement, and this is perhaps most evident when the win ratios of the two drivers are compared.
Taking the pair's careers as a whole,바카라 웹사이트Hamilton averages a victory every 2.9바카라 웹사이트entries, better than Schumacher, who topped the podium once every 3.4바카라 웹사이트grands prix.
However, if we discount Schumacher's Mercedes encore, which saw him go 58 races without a win, his ratio improves sharply to바카라 웹사이트2.75.
He remains clear when it comes to total race victories –바카라 웹사이트Schumacher has won 91 grands prix, compared to Hamilton's 88.
But바카라 웹사이트Hamilton has won more than half the races바카라 웹사이트since the dawning of the hybrid era in 2014바카라 웹사이트and바카라 웹사이트if he can maintain that rate of success, he looks destined to overtake Schumacher in 2020.
