With 143 events completed at least one lap, the five-time world champion beats the “Kaiser” (142) by one race. The seven-time winner achieved this performance during a long career of 306 starts, while the leader of the 2019 season is at 245 participations.
Lewis Hamilton led a Grand Prix for the first time on his debut in F1, at the start of the 2007 season in Melbourne (Australia). An event that he finished on the third step of the podium.

As for Michael Schumacher, a similar scenario occurred during his 18th start in F1, more precisely during the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix, en route to his first victory accompanied by a first lap record at Spa-Francorchamps.
