Lewis Hamilton Targets Schumacher's Belgian Grand Prix Win Record

Lewis Hamilton returns to Spa‑Francorchamps for the 20th consecutive year, hoping to win for Ferrari and equal Michael Schumacher's record of six Belgian Grand Prix victories. Hamilton currently has five wins at the circuit, tied with Ayrton Senna, and finished third at the recent British GP behind teammate Charles Leclerc and Mercedes driver George Russell.

The championship battle sees 19‑year‑old Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli leading the standings with 179 points, while Ferrari has regained form with recent victories. Hamilton aims to capitalize on Ferrari’s straight‑line speed and his own experience, despite past disappointment at Spa in 2008 when a post‑race penalty stripped him of a win. Competitors include Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who also seeks to add to his three Spa triumphs.

Betting odds list Hamilton as a contender for the Belgian GP win and for the overall title, reflecting the race’s importance in the 2026 Formula 1 season.
