The path isn’t easy, however, Hamilton is making a habit out of winning as well as breaking records. A few days after he broke Schumacher’s record for most podiums, the Tuscan Grand Prix saw him breaking another record.

Hamilton holds 95 pole positions. He is way ahead of Michael Schumacher, who sits with 68 pole positions. However, with the pole in Tuscany, Lewis Hamilton has captured 69 pole positions driving for Mercedes.
