Hamilton’s win of the Drivers’ Championship in 2020 puts him tied with the great Michael Schumacher with seven titles.
Another title would see him stand alone as the most successful F1 driver of all time. However, I imagine Verstappen harbors ambitions to steal his crown in the future.
The drivers with the most championships are:
7 titles – michael schumacher (1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004) & lewis hamilton (2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020)
6 titles – none
5 titles – Juan Manuel Fangio (1951, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957)
4 titles – Alain Prost (1985, 1986, 1989, 1993) & Sebastian Vettel (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013)
3 titles – jack brabham (1959, 1960, 1966), Jackie Stewart (1969, 1971, 1973), Niki Lauda (1975, 1977, 1984), Nelson Piquet (1981, 1983, 1987), ayrton senna (1988, 1990, 1991) & max verstappen (2021, 2022, 2023)
