Which driver has the most Grand Prix wins?

The story behind the answer

Lewis Hamilton has the most Grand Prix wins in Formula One history. The British driver surpassed Michael Schumacher’s long-standing record in 2020 and reached 105 career victories by the end of the 2025 season.

Hamilton’s record reflects an unusually long and successful career. He made his Formula One debut with McLaren in 2007, won his first race at the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, and later became the central figure in Mercedes’ dominant period during the hybrid-engine era. His victories include wins at classic races such as Britain, Hungary, Canada and China.

Hamilton is also tied with Schumacher for the record of seven World Drivers’ Championships, but their records are not identical. Schumacher held the previous win record for many years, while Max Verstappen has rapidly climbed the all-time list and remains the closest active challenger. The question asks for Grand Prix victories, not championships, pole positions or podium finishes—categories with their own record holders.
