Ralf Schumacher, brother of the legendary Michael Schumacher, remains unfazed by the records being broken by his sibling.

The Mercedes team struggled to produce a championship-winning car in the last few years, resulting in Hamilton experiencing a long w.comess streak that lasted almost three years.

Hamilton has always had the advantage of driving exceptional Mercedes cars, whereas my brother faced different challenges.” Ralf Schumacher has op.comy stated that he sees more of a resemblance between Michael and Max Verstappen. “Max has an undeniable edge in talent over Lewis,” he stated confidently. “And Verstappen demonstrates a knack for making a difference on the track, reminiscent of Michael’s driving style.”
