Lewis Hamilton vs Michael Schumacher: 5 common things between the F1 Legends

#2 Rainmeisters

Those were the simpler times if it rained, Schumacher won more often than not

A name that has coincided with many of the top drivers of their Era. Ayrton Senna was called one. These days Max Verstappen is called one and both Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher fall in that category as well. Rain is supposed to be the biggest equalizer in Motorsports. Whatever car advantage one has usually gets diminished and it becomes a level playing field. In this level playing field usually, the cream of the crop do emerge to the top and that's exactly what Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have done in their respective careers.

Lewis Hamilton has won some pretty dominant wet races like the one in Silverstone 2008 where it seemed like he was driving on a completely different track than anyone else and ended up lapping almost the entire field by the end of the race. Schumacher on his part made a routine out of driving in sub-competitive cars in the rain and smashing the field with them. There are just innumerable races where Schumacher showed that when it rained, he was going to be the man to beat.
