Lewis Hamilton holds almost every record there is to grab in Formula 1. He has the most wins, poles and is tied with Michael Schumacher when it comes to the most world titles. In 2022, he can easily break another one of Schumacher's records.

Schumacher loses another record

Hamilton is about to start his tenth Formula One season with Mercedes. In total, the Briton has already driven 178 Grands Prix with Mercedes. In 2022, he can take the absolute record from Schumacher. The German entered 181 races with Ferrari, of which he started 179.

The only question at the moment is really whether Hamilton will actually continue in Formula 1. The driver has not made any announcements since losing the world title in 2021, although Mercedes seems to be hinting more and more at a longer stay with the team.

Verstappen enters top ten

Max Verstappen could enter the top ten of most loyal drivers in Formula 1 in 2022. The Dutchman is in a shared eleventh place with Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari. The 2021 world champion can jump to a total of 141 races for Red Bull Racing, if he drives all 23 races of 2022 for the Austrian team, it will earn him the fifth spot on the list.
