With this win, Hamilton now has 11 wins this season and 17 podium finishes. <\/p>\n<p>Hamilton has a total of <em>413 points<\/em> and sits at the top of the points table.

Hamilton said he grew up admiring and idolizing Michael Schumacher over the years as he watched the German F1 star set record after record over the years and show amazing consistency with his Ferrari team.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton admitted that he never thought that he would one day draw equal with his old and register the most number of F1 wins. To give you a small comparison between the two, Schumacher hit 91 F1 wins at the start of his 247th F1 race while Hamilton hit 91 F1 wins at the start of his 261st F1 race.<\/p>\n<p>The gap between the rest of the other F1 drivers and Hamilton and Schumacher is huge. After Schumacher and Hamilton, sits <strong>Sebastian Vettel<\/strong> in with 53 wins and <strong>Alain Prost<\/strong> with 51 wins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/lewis-hamilton-could-surpass-schumachers-record-before-quitting\/\">Lewis Hamilton has no plans to retire anytime soon<\/a> and given his dominance on the F1 circuit, it is just a matter of time before he passes Schumacher and looks to push it past 100 F1 wins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brit Lewis Hamilton went into the Eifel Grand Prix on Sunday, October 11 knowing that a win at Nurburg, Germany would help him tie the record of the most number of F1 wins in the history of the sport which was held by the legendary Michael Schumacher.
