Michael Schumacher's Record in F1
Michael Schumacher currently holds the joint record for most Formula 1 championships won with Lewis Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton came within one lap of breaking Michael Schumacher’s record of winning seven drivers’ championships during the 2021 season, only to be denied by Max Verstappen.
- Max Verstappen has since joined the handful of drivers during Formula 1’s 75-year history to have won four or more titles.
- Verstappen could add to his tally this season, although he would need to overturn Oscar Piastri’s 63-point lead during the final six race weekends.
They unfortunately didn't come close to winning seven championships before retiring...
Schumacher came up against some formidable opponents during his career, including Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, who won seven titles between them.
Nigel Mansell also won a well-deserved championship the year after Schumacher’s debut.
