Michael Schumacher once named which driver he would be ‘happy’ to see break his F1 title record

Michael Schumacher's Record in Formula 1

Michael Schumacher holds the joint record for most Formula 1 championships won with Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton came close to breaking Michael Schumacher’s record of winning seven drivers’ championships during the 2021 season.

Schumacher had named a driver he would be 'happy' to see break his record, but unfortunately, they didn't come close to winning seven championships before retiring.

There's still a chance that Verstappen could add to his tally this season, although he would need to overturn Oscar Piastri's 63-point lead during the final six race weekends.

Schumacher competed against notable opponents, including Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, who won seven titles between them, and Nigel Mansell, who won a championship the year after Schumacher's debut.
