Lewis Hamilton is celebrating his 41st birthday today ahead of his second F1 season with Ferrari.
His maiden campaign in red failed to deliver much success as Hamilton went the entire campaign without a single trip to the podium.
Nevertheless, the seven-time champion still holds many records in F1, many of which come from his mammoth stint with Mercedes.
Hamilton will be hoping that the 2026 season, which will be held under fresh technical regulations, will offer him a chance to add to his trophy cabinet.
In celebration of Hamilton's birthday, RacingNews365 has listed 41 records held by the Briton.
These records are ones that are held by him alone, and not shared with another driver e.g. seven F1 titles, which is a record also held by Michael Schumacher.
See the selected records below!
