Hamilton could surpass Schumacher record at Ferrari's 1000th race

Lewis Hamilton could match Michael Schumacher's record of 91 Formula One victories at the Italian Grand Prix and surpass it at Ferrari's 1000th race, set to be held at a circuit owned by the Italian team.

Mercedes driver Hamilton claimed an 86th win at the Hungarian Grand Prix, his second victory in a row, to move into the lead of the championship. He is second on the all-time winners list behind Schumacher, who claimed the majority of his wins and five of his seven championships for Ferrari between 1996 and 2006.
