Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton own most of the biggest records in Formula 1, as both are the most successful drivers ever in terms of championships (seven apiece), wins and podiums (Hamilton leads and Schumacher is second).
In terms of longevity, the two careers have been good, with Schumacher competing from 1991 to 2012 (he retired between 2006 and 2010) and Hamilton competing since 2007 and still going.
