The world duel between the two seven-time Formula 1 world champions Lewis Hamilton (35) and Michael Schumacher (51) will continue next season. However, since the tragic skiing accident on December 29, 2013, Schumi has sent his young Mick (21) into the race.

The only question is: how long does it take the Formula 2 leader at Haas-Ferrari (or in the event of a team change) to get his first podium? And if that were to happen, Hamilton may have left Formula 1.

Schumi and Hamilton never on the podium together

When the German first left the GP circuit in late 2006, the Briton made his Formula 1 debut in 2007. Only when Schumi returned in 2010 for three years with Rosberg as development officer on the return of the Mercedes after 55 years, the two superstars fought until 2012.

It was never enough for a joint podium appearance. Because Schumi finished third at the Silver Arrow only on June 24, 2012 in Valencia behind Alonso (Ferrari) and Räikkönen (Lotus).

And what was Lewis doing with the Mclaren Mercedes? He had one of his few accidents! The rest of the first chapter is quickly told: Schumi didn’t give her second resignation in late 2012 – and Ross Brawn and Niki Lauda (†) lured Hamilton to the Mercedes boat.

80 times in 81 races

It was the best transfer in Formula 1 history. Hamilton would have actually won every world title since the hybrid began in 2014 had it not been for an engine failure in Malaysia on 2 October 2016. In the end, Lewis lost the race. fight for the title against Nico Rosberg with 380: 385.

But after that failure the statistical madness began. In the following 81 races, Hamilton finished 80 times in the points. Only at Spielberg 2018 did the lack of fuel pressure briefly stop this series!
