    F1: Most wins, most poles, and seven titles, where does Lewis Hamilton fit among Formula One's greatest drivers?

    As Hamilton joins Schumacher at top of all-time drivers' titles, a look back at the best

    Lewis Hamilton celebrates in Turkey
    After Lewis Hamilton drew level with Michael Schumacher with seven Formula One drivers' champion titles in Turkey on Sunday, debate rages over which driver is the sport’s greatest of all time. While Hamilton sits joint-top and - Schumacher apart - way ahead of his racing predecessors, it is nigh on impossible to compare drivers from different eras. Image Credit: Reuters

    But with such a dramatic race where he looked down-and-out, Hamilton on Sunday not only hauled himself back into contention with the bravest of drives in horrendous conditions to pick up enough points to claim the title, he went on to win the Istanbul race, leaving everyone spinning in his wake (literally). To claim victory in such stunning fashion was the icing on the cake of a season where he has shown he truly deserves his place among some of the greatest names in the sport. Image Credit: Reuters

    Due to technological advancements and alterations in the teams, calendar, number of races, locations and track evolution, the debates over whom is the GOAT (greatest of all time) will continue - but no one can argue Hamilton is right in the mix at the top of that list now.

    Turkish Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton 2020
    One decade on, same result in Istanbul. With Hamilton committed to continuing with the dominant Mercedes next season, it is quite possible that the Briton - who could easily race on for another five years at least - could take the records into untouchable and astronomical realms. Greatest of All Time (?) with more to come. Image Credit: Agencies
