Youngest driver to 100 Formula One podium finishes

The youngest driver to 100 Formula 1 podium finishes is Lewis Hamilton (UK, b.7 January 1985), who was aged 31 years 276 days when he finished third at the Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan, on 9 October 2016.

Lewis Hamilton became only the third driver to reach 100 podiums after Alain Prost (in 1993) and Michael Schumacher (in 2002).

Prost was in his final season and 38 years old when he recorded his century of podiums and while Schumacher would go onto achieve a record 155 podiums he was already 33 years 2 months old when he picked up his 100th podium at the 2002 Brazilian Grand Prix.

Hamilton achieved the feat in 186 starts – five less than Prost – but Schumacher got there on just 163 starts.
