Like Schumacher, Hamilton earned his special place in F1 history

From this point onward, Lewis Hamilton is in virgin territory. Nobody in the history of Formula One has won more than 91 grands prix in a career, but right now there is no telling how far he might go.

For the past six years he has averaged more than 10 wins a season, so extend that average over another two or three years with a dominant Mercedes team and you're already over 110 and knocking on 120.

But don't fall into the trap of thinking such a milestone is in any way guaranteed.

Just as his 91 victories to date were a result of a serious dedication to his craft, continuing the winning streak beyond 100 will require new levels of performance to be unlocked.
