Lewis Hamilton's Hungarian Grand Prix victory means he has now recorded 81 Formula 1 wins during his career. This puts him just 10 races short of Michael Schumacher's all-time record. However, in the current era, Formula 1 has 21 races per season compared to just seven in 1950. Back when Schumacher was racing, there was only ever 16/17 races per year.
