The one major record Schumacher missed out on was the record for most Grands Prix competed in. His final race was his 250th so he finished 6 short of Riccardo Patrese's record of 256. Other records he did not break were the one for most pole positions in a season, as held by Nigel Mansell (14), and for most consecutive pole positions, held by Ayrton Senna (8).

However, the record for the highest winning strike rate, is held by Juan Manuel Fangio, with 24 wins from 51 starts (47.1%) to Schumacher's 36.4%.

He was the youngest double World Champion when he won the championship in 1995 aged 26 years, 9 months and 19 days, but this record was beaten by Fernando Alonso in 2006, when he won his 2nd championship aged 25 years, 3 months and 24 days.

With the exception of his debut year, 1991 where he only participated in 6 races, Schumacher never had a winless year in Formula One.
