Just like Michael, Lewis Hamilton has also enjoyed dominance in the sport with the same team. In 2022, the Mercedes driver would surpass the German’s record of driving in the most races with a single team.

As reported by Express. co. uk, the British driver mentioned it amazed him he was breaking the records of Schumacher. Hamilton revealed he never imagined growing up that anyone could eclipse the records held by the German.

“I don’t even know what to say. You know when you grow up watching someone, you generally idolize them, really just in terms of the quality of the driver they are, but what they are able to continuously do year on year and race on race and week on week with their team,” said Hamilton on Schumacher.

“I remember playing Michael in a game called Grand Prix 2 I think it was. Just seeing his dominance for so long, I don’t think anyone, especially I, didn’t imagine that I’d be anywhere near Michael in terms of records. So it’s an incredible honor, and it’s going to take some time to get used to it,” said Lewis on equalling the records of Schumacher.

It is wonderful to see that Lewis has this amount of respect for the achievements of Schumacher. Hopefully, he will continue racing in Formula One and stand alone at the top with his records. Do you think Hamilton can win his eighth world championship in 2022?
