F1 British Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton aiming to beat Michael Schumacher record - but it may never happen

Hamilton and Schumacher are equal at the top of the list for🅷 all-time wins at the same F1 Grand Prix.
Schumacher won in France eight times, while Hamilton has won the British and Hungarian Graওnds Prix eight times.
Next weekend in Silverstone, Hamilton will earn the all-time record amount of wins at t🏅he same Grand Prix if he claims ﷽an unlikely victory.
F1 drivers with the most wins at the same Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton (British and Hungarian) and Michael Schumacher (French) - eight wins each
Lewis Hamilton (Canadian), Schumacher (Canadian and San Marino) - seven wins each
Michael Schumacher (Belgian, Spanish, Japanese, European), Lewis Hamilton (United States, Chinese, Spanish), Alain Prost (Brazilian and French), Ayrton Senna (Monaco) - six wins each
Hamilton’s hopes of claiming the record outri༒ght have looked extremely slim in a disastrousꦕ campaign for Mercedes that has seen him blighted by porpoising, so severe that he was left with a back injury in Baku.
However, a more promising outing in Montreal last week🅠 has raised optimism ahead of Hamilton’s homecoming to the F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone next weekend.
Lewis Hamilton has beaten other Michael Schumacher records

Sebastian Vettel is third in all-time wins 🅷with 53.
Lewis Hamilton vying for another record at Silverstone
