Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) on Sunday equaled the record of 91 Formula 1 victories for German Michael Schumacher by winning the Eifel GP… in Germany, on the land of the F1 legend.

To mark the occasion, Mick Schumacher, the son of "Schumi", wanted to offer the Briton a helmet from his father before he climbed on the podium for the 160th time (!) In his career.

To achieve his seventh victory in 2020, Hamilton won ahead of the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull), still placed, and the Australian Daniel Ricciardo who gave Renault his first podium since 2011. Started from second place on the grid at the Nürburgring, Hamilton benefited from the mechanical problems of his teammate Valtteri Bottas, who was forced to retire on the 17th lap out of the 60 in this eleventh round of the season.

In the world championship, Hamilton is now 69 points ahead of Bottas and 83 over Verstappen.

A hole.

Barring a huge disaster, he is on course to equal this year another record of the legendary German driver by winning a seventh Formula 1 world champion title.
