Records
Schumacher's seven World Drivers' Championships stood as the outright record until Lewis Hamilton matched it in 2020. His 91 Grand Prix wins and 155 podium finishes were also long-standing records. He holds the record for most fastest laps in F1 history with 77. In 2002, he became the only driver to finish on the podium in every race of a season. He was the first German to win the F1 title and the first driver to win seven championships. His five consecutive titles with Ferrari from 2000 to 2004 remain a benchmark for sustained dominance.
