Michael won the German GP 3 times, but he also won 6 European GPs (’95, ‘00, ‘01, ‘02, ‘04 and ‘06) which were also held in Germany (Nurburgring), making a total of 9 wins in his home country.

Yes, but it’s a tie between him and Alain Prost. They’ve both had six wins at their own home race.
Michael also holds the F1 records for: most career wins (91), most wins in a season, most career pole positions, most points during a season (148 in 2004), most consecutive world championships (5), most consecutive race wins (2004), most podium finsihes (154), most laps leading and most fastest laps (76).

Just to add to what has been said.
Prost won 4 Monaco GP’s too, technically France?
