The best of all-time? Lewis Hamilton breaks Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 wins record

Lewis Hamilton has the most victories of any driver in Formula 1 history.

Hamilton won his 92nd grand prix on Sunday in Portugal to break a tie with Michael Schumacher for the most career F1 wins. Hamilton started on pole but quickly lost the lead as his tires didn’t warm up amid cool temperatures and a few raindrops at the Algarve International Circuit.

But Hamilton quickly found grip in his tires and the track and chased down teammate Valtteri Bottas. Once he passed Bottas about a third of the way through the race, Hamilton cruised to the checkered flag.
