Lewis Hamilton is undoubtedly one of the best drives in F1 history. He has many records, like most poles position, and most podiums, and by quite a margin. But the most notable one would be his legendary record of 103 race wins. Many viewers even speculate if the Brit has had a season where he didn’t win a Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton is now an F1 driver for over 15 years. He has tasted both success and defeat throughout his career. However, he never finished the season without at least one win in his 16-year-long F1 career. The Briton might not have a decent start in 2022 and only finished third in the season opener, but the season is not over yet.

The Mercedes driver holds the record for most consecutive seasons with at least one Grand Prix win since his F1debut in 2007. Further, the Briton shares this legendary title with Michael Schumacher, with whom he already shares the record of seven-world championships. However, if Lewis bags one more win this season, he will create a record of 16 consecutive seasons with a win. It will also mean that his saga of winning at least one race every season will continue.

Hamilton broke a Michael Schumacher record in the 2022 season opener when everyone even doubted him to finish at the podium. That third-place finish earned him the record 16 consecutive seasons with at least one podium finish while Schumacher had 15. Then, in the Saudi Arabian GP, he made a record for most appearances with a single constructor. Before him, Schumacher had the record as he had 179 appearances with Ferrari.
