Lewis Hamilton is chasing Micheal Schumacher's record at Spa.
Lewis Hamilton returns to one of his favourite circuits for the twentieth consecutive year this weekend, in pursuit of a victory for Ferrari to equal Michael Schumacher’s record of six Belgian Grand Prix wins.
After finishing third behind triumphant Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and fellow Briton George Russell of Mercedes at his home British Grand Prix two weeks ago, the seven-time world champion is determined to bid for his first Spa victory in red.
Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli, who reeled off a record five straight "maiden" wins earlier this year, leads the title race for Mercedes on 179 points after nine races, holding a twenty-five-point lead over Russell and sitting thirty-two points ahead of Hamilton.
But the precocious 19-year-old has failed to score in two of his last three races, whilst Ferrari have found resurgent form and unexpected power to secure victories for both drivers in the last three outings. Antonelli's once luxurious 66-point lead has halved.
