Another one for the history books ✅ Lewis moves clear of the legendary Michael Schumacher with the most wins around Cir Via @F1 on X

What happened: Lewis Hamilton has moved clear of Michael Schumacher for the most career wins at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The milestone came as Hamilton took the top step at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, the same circuit where Schumacher built part of his own legend.

Why it matters: The record cements Hamilton's mastery of one of the sport's most familiar venues and lands at a meaningful moment, coming on the back of his first victory with Ferrari. Passing Schumacher's mark at a track so tied to the German's career adds historical weight to Hamilton's resurgence.

By the numbers: Hamilton headed an all-British podium in Barcelona, with George Russell second and Lando Norris third. Russell noted it was the first British 1-2-3 on an F1 podium in nearly 60 years.

What to watch: Attention turns to the Austrian Grand Prix, where Hamilton looks to carry his momentum into the next round of the 2026 season.
