Hamilton has 63 so far, leaving the Briton two short of the late Ayrton Senna's career total and five behind Schumacher's record 68.
Mercedes have been on pole in 59 of the last 62 races and for the last 18 in a row. Williams hold the record of 24 successive poles, set in 1992/93.

POINTS
Force India's Mexican Sergio Perez has finished the last 13 races in the points, the longest current run among those on the grid.
Only Ferrari, Mercedes and Force India have scored with both cars in every race this season.
Renault scored their first points of the season in Bahrain with German driver Nico Hulkenberg.
Sauber and McLaren have yet to score in 2017.
RUSSIA
Mercedes are the only team to have won in Russia so far, with Hamilton triumphant in the first two Russian Grands Prix and Rosberg taking the third. Mercedes have also led every racing lap (159 in total) at the circuit.
The race was first held in 2014 as a legacy of the Winter Olympics that year.
Bottas took the first fastest race lap of his F1 career in Sochi with Williams in 2014. The Finn last year became the first non-Mercedes driver to start on the front row in Sochi.
The layout is designed by Hermann Tilke and runs clockwise around the Olympic Park venues, partly on public roads. There are 12 right and six left-hand corners.
Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat is the only Russian racing in Formula One at present although Sergey Sirotkin will drive in Friday practice for Renault. Kvyat has yet to finish higher than fifth in his home race.
Hulkenberg has crashed out on the first lap of the last two Russian Grands Prix.
