No driver contests in F1 without the dream of landing on the podium. There are some who make winning a habit. On the other hand, there are some that habitually occupy a space among the top three. Then there are those like Hamilton and Schumacher who become both consummate race winners as well as podium clinchers.

Right?

To that regard, if there's another Michael Schumacher record that Lewis can better then its the number of podiums that the German driver has clinched.

Thus far, Lewis Hamilton stands comfortably with 136 podiums collected ever since he emerged on the scene, circa 2007.

If that's not an incredible number then what is? Well, we'll tell you. Michael Schumacher, albeit in two separate stints, bagged 155 podium finishes. Interesting, right?

So what can Hamilton do now?

As it is, with 19 races left in the season, his fans wouldn't rule out the possibility of the Briton inching closer and closer toward Schumi's tally. One suspects 2020 is when the British racing icon will perhaps go past Michael Schumacher's remarkable tally.
