#2 Lewis Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton has had a stellar run in Formula One so far, winning 4 world championship titles and securing 64 race victories.
He passed Schumacher for the record of most pole positions, currently claiming 74 against his name.
The British driver’s first hat-trick came in 2007 during the Japanese Grand Prix, which was coincidentally also the first pole position of his career.
His latest and 14th hat-trick came at the 2017 British Grand Prix where he achieved a Grand Slam (or Grand Chelem).
He won the race comfortably, encountering the chequered flag 14 seconds before the second placed Valtteri Bottas.
