Both have 91 wins.
I don't know anything about F1, can Hamilton already be considered the greatest?
If not do you think he will be by the time he retires, what does he have to do to surpass Schumacher's legacy?

I remember he had a monster year in 2013/14?

His numbers will always put him up there but if you’ve watched F1 for the last 20-30 years and aren’t just a biased Brit then I doubt many would put him ahead of Schumi.
Glad he knocked Vettel off his perch but it’s time for someone new to start winning, hopefully next season the cars really will be more equal and we’ll see the true driver skill rather than the best and biggest mechanical teams.
The battles between Lando, Leclerc and Verstappen over the next 10 years will be class.

Hamilton proved himself worthy of being the number 1 driver in that team, won’t doubt that. So they paired him with betas like Rosberg and Bottas who won’t challenge the ‘king’. Mercedes recently rejected drivers like Max and Alonso in part because they want a stable number 2 who’s happy to play the part.
It’s great for him, he timed his move to Mercedes perfectly and earned his #1 status there but I find his McLaren title win much more impressive. Plus back in the day it was much harder to be dominant with a DNF only costing you a max of 12 points (easier to catch up) than the 25 points it costs now. Yes equal for the current field but when comparing the eras it makes the current one easier to dominate purely on car reliability, nevermind being the fastest by miles.
