Here, you will find the Formula 1 records for most championships race wins, pole positions, race entries for both teams and individuals. If you want to know more about the youngest drivers to win championships, races, points and podiums, read our article here. The flat-capped, moustachioed everyman of modern F1, Mansell enjoyed an imperious, championship-winning season in 1992, one that was purpose-built to sate the needs of Fleet Street in its belligerent, jingoistic pomp. Rarely has F1 had a more populist moment than '92's British GP, which Nige won from pole position, having led every lap, with the fastest lap in the bag, too, and eclipsing Jackie Stewart's 27 race-winning record. The crowd burst the Silverstone banks and flooded onto the circuit.
Three future world champions, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher, looked on. Hamilton had a record eighth championship ripped away with five laps remaining when a crash by Nicholas Latifi triggered the safety car and gave race director Michael Masi a decision. The season-ending race and championship could be decided under yellow, or, the track could be cleaned for one final lap of racing. Formula One is the highest class of open-wheeled motor racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile , motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets.
Each winner is presented with a trophy and the results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. The World Championship for Drivers is held since 1950, after the Formula One standard was agreed upon in 1946. The Constructors' Championship was added for the 1958 season and has been awarded ever since. Hamilton looked set to win a record-breaking eighth drivers' championship as he led Verstappen by 11 seconds with six laps remaining in their winner-takes-all finale, which they started tied on points. In 1991 Schumacher moved up to F1 competition as a driver for the Jordan team.
He switched to Benetton the following year and won the drivers' world championship for that team in 1994 and 1995. Before the 1996 season he moved to the Ferrari team and finished third in the championship standings. After suffering a broken leg in a crash in 1999, Schumacher rebounded to win a third championship the following year, which was Ferrari's first drivers' title since 1979.
His 2000 win was the first in a string of five consecutive world championships (2000–04), and his grand total of seven F1 titles broke Juan Manuel Fangio's record of five that had stood for nearly 50 years. In 2005 and 2006 he finished in third and second place in the F1 standings, respectively. Ferrari began to reassert themselves with drivers Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni, the former capturing the first of three drivers' titles in 1975.
He won six of the first nine races in 1976 before a horrendous crash at the German Grand Prix left him with burns so severe he was not expected to live. Almost unbelievably he was back in the cockpit six weeks later and the championship went down to the wire, James Hunt edging out the courageous Lauda in the final race. An era of British dominance was ushered in by Mike Hawthorn's championship win in 1958, although Stirling Moss had been at the forefront of the sport without ever securing the world title.
Between Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, John Surtees, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, and Denny Hulme, British and Commonwealth drivers won nine drivers' championships and British teams won ten constructors' titles between 1962 and 1973. Both protests were dismissed by race officials, but Mercedes intends to appeal according to Autosport. Verstappen led an F1-high 652 of the 1,211 laps this year and scored 18 podium finishes.
In a dramatic finish to the final race of the season, Red Bull's Verstappen overtook the Mercedes driver on the last lap to claim victory at the Yas Marina Circuit and secure the first world championship of his career. See major Formula 1 records including most driver and constructor Grand Prix wins, world championships, pole positions, attendances and more. Schumacher, left, and Damon Hill, right, went into the final race of the season separated by just one point in the championship.
On lap 35 of the 81-lap race, Schumacher brushed a barrier that may have caused some damage to the car's aerodynamics. The brush give an opening to Hill, who came up on Schumacher on the next turn. Schumacher, in what race stewards ruled was a racing move, then made contact with Hill.
The contact knocked both cars out of the race and out of the points. Lewis Hamilton holds the record of most victories with 103, ahead of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel . Schumacher also holds the record for the greatest gap between his first and last victories, with over 14 years between the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix and 2006 Chinese Grand Prix. Alberto Ascari and Vettel share the record for wins from consecutive starts with nine, although only Vettel has done this in consecutive races .
The youngest winner is Max Verstappen, who won the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix at the age of 18 years and 228 days old. The oldest winner is Luigi Fagioli, who was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix with Juan Manuel Fangio. The most starts without a victory is 208, achieved by Andrea de Cesaris. Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most race wins in Formula One history, with 103 wins to date. Michael Schumacher, the previous record holder, is second with 91 wins, and Sebastian Vettel is third with 53 victories. Kimi Räikkönen holds the distinction of having the longest time between his first win and his last.
He won his first Grand Prix at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix, and his last at the 2018 United States Grand Prix, a span of 15 years and 212 days. Riccardo Patrese holds the record for the longest period of time between two race wins–more than six-and-a-half years between the 1983 South African Grand Prix and the 1990 San Marino Grand Prix. Mario Andretti had to wait the longest time between his maiden victory at the 1971 South African Grand Prix and his second win–coming five years, seven months and 18 days later at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel holds the record for the most consecutive wins, having won nine Grands Prix in a row from the 2013 Belgian Grand Prix to the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen is the youngest winner of a Grand Prix; he was 18 years and 228 days old when he won the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix.
Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix; he was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix. The engines are roaring almost as much as the crowd as the pit lane opens and the cars make their way to the grid for the final time in 2021. The big talk is on tyres, with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton starting the race on different compunds . Despite that, though, Pirelli expect the one-stop to be the fastest, no matter the starting tyre with hard tyres the choice at the stop. The altered Yas Marina layout hasn't affected tyre wear enough for a two-stop to become profitable unless a safety car intervenes. Nicholas Latifi has crashed big time in the final sector and the safety car has to be called.
Formula 1 Race Today Winner If we get a restart then Verstappen could be in an ideal position to attack and take the title. Hamilton isn't pleased with his team's decision to leave him out. Ross Brawn and team principal Nick Fry bought out the Brackley-based team and, with some support from Honda, finished off the development of the new car in time for the start of the 2009 season. The now renamed Brawn GP team retained the services of Jenson Button and together they won, not only six of the first seven races but also went on to clinch the driver's and constructor's title.
Hamilton, seeking to become a champion as a rookie, qualified second for the finale, but battled a gearbox issue on race day and finished seventh. Raikkonen, right, won the final race and the championship to become the first driver to go from third to first in the standings on the last race of the season. The most dominant figures during this time were Michael Schumacher and Ferrari, who won an unprecedented five consecutive drivers' championships and six consecutive constructors' championships between 1999 and 2004. Schumacher was a brilliant driver but his habit of pushing rules and sportsmanship to the limit made him a hard man to warm to, and that allied to his success further caused problems for the sport's popularity. Viewing figures dropped and concerns grew for the sport's future given the increasing difficulty for any new entrants to make an impression. The first seasons were run using pre-war cars like Alfa's 158.
They were front engined, with narrow-treaded tyres and 1.5 litre supercharged or 4.5 litre normally aspirated engines. When Formula One regulations returned in 1954 engines were limited to 2.5 litres. Mercedes Benz made major developments until they withdrew from all motor sports in the aftermath of the 1955 disaster at Le Mans. In the late 1950s Cooper introduced a rear-engined car and by 1961 all manufacturers were running them. As an added incentive for the teams, a constructors' championship was introduced in 1958.
I think there is some mistake in list, but as we know that these are winner and master in realm of racing cars. The winning a race is not only measured upon car's performance and its advancement, it's about handling your mobile in event and having amazing track day experience and how you utilize its tech to win. At Sebring, the '59 F1 world championship was settled when Jack Brabham's Cooper T51 ran out of fuel on the last lap. With enough gap to the cars behind, he climbed out and pushed his car up the hill and across the finishing line. His fourth place finish gave him the first of his three world titles, and also the first for Cooper – whose rear/mid-engined car revolutionised motor racing. F1 race director Michael Masi took his time figuring out how to conclude the race before controversially settling on one final lap of racing to decide the title.
Verstappen started the final lap just behind Hamilton, chasing him through the first four turns. At the end of an absolutely mad, and some may say farcical, grand prix, Mercedes take first and third on the podium with Lewis Hamilton winning the race ... Max Verstappen of Red Bull finishes second and it will be all square going into the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi. PosDriverPole positions1Lewis Hamilton1022Michael Schumacher683Ayrton Senna654Sebastian Vettel575Jim Clark335Alain Prost33In terms of pole positions, there's a clear winner. Lewis Hamilton is the first driver to reach triple-digit pole positions. He secured his 100th pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix in 2021.
With less than 300 starts under his belt, it means Hamilton has taken pole position in more than one-third of the races he has entered. His nearest rival is Michael Schumacher, but with 68 pole positions, it doesn't come close to the British driver's total. Juan Manuel Fangio's record of five titles in the 1950s stood the test of time.
The first great driver of the Formula 1 era, he finished 1st or 2nd in the championship in the first seven seasons he entered. His record stood until 2003 when Schumacher clinched his 6th title. Alain Prost's battles with Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Nelson Piquet earned him four titles. As did Sebastian Vettel's absolute dominance with Red Bull in the early 2010s.
Achievement in F1 is spread between teams and constructors, and drivers. Over decades in the sport, teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Williams have broken Formula 1 records with consistently quick cars and the fastest drivers. On this page you can find all F1 records, like most f1 wins and titles, that are set by all Formula 1 drivers. Some drivers of the current season are in the race for breaking records. World champion John Surtees drove for the team in 1967 and scored a memorable victory at the Italian Grand Prix - winning with the new RA300 in its first race. The team withdrew from motor racing after the 1968 season, to concentrate their energies on developing new road cars, having cemented the Honda name in the motorsport hall of fame.
Hunt won the title when he finished third in the final race of the season in Japan. Lauda, along with several other drivers, retired early in Japan, saying the driving rain created unsafe conditions to race. Michael Schumacher won 13 out of 18 grands prix in romping to the last of his seven world titles. His strike rate of winning 72 percent of the races he started is one that is hard to see being eclipsed. McLaren and Williams continued to rule the roost in the 1990s. In all, McLaren won 16 championships (seven constructors', nine drivers') in that period, while Williams matched them with 16 titles of their own (nine constructors', seven drivers').
But the rivalry between Prost and Senna ended in 1993 with Prost's retirement and then in 1994 Senna died at Imola. His death was a watershed, in that it led to considerable increases in safety standards - no driver has died at the wheel of an F1 car since then. The FIA introduced measures to slow the cars and improve their safety.
In 1952 and 1953 the lack of entrants meant the authorities ran races to Formula Two regulations, with Alberto Ascari winning the championship in both years. Of the 20 makes that competed in 1950, most were soon forced out by the cost. The death toll in races was gruesome - 13 drivers were killed in F1 cars in the first decade. Drivers are considered to be entered into a race if they attempt to compete in at least one official practice session with the intent of entering the race. A driver is considered to have started a race if they line up on the grid or at the pit lane exit for the start of the race. Oddly enough, this was the first victory for a turbocharged car in F1.
But hardly anyone remembers Jean-Pierre Jabouille winning in Renault's 'yellow teapot'. No, this was all about Rene Arnoux battling Gilles Villeneuve. As gripping a sporting spectacle as John McEnroe v Bjorn Borg in the 1980 Wimbledon final or Ali v Frazier in Madison Square Garden in 1971. "He approached qualifying like it was a religious experience," McLaren's team manager Jo Ramirez said. Only three races into his McLaren career, his determination to outpace Prost raised Senna's commitment to an almost spiritual level – and Monte Carlo was the place where it all crystallised. He ended up 1.427 seconds ahead of Prost (the gap to third-placed Gerhard Berger was 2.68 seconds).
For just the second time in the sport's history, the championship contenders head into the final race on level points, as title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are both on 369.5 points ahead of their race in Abu Dhabi. The 24-year-old Red Bull star is still on cloud nine after overcoming Lewis Hamilton to win his maiden championship in Abu Dhabi, denying the Briton of an eighth title in the process. Verstappen has not let the controversy surrounding his final-lap victory dampen his spirits and is currently unwinding following an enthralling, 23-race season. And a photograph of the Dutchman with Mexican sensation Canelo has emerged, showing the pair grinning with raised fists while posing for a picture with a fan. Latifi's crash with four laps to go left Mercedes stuck in a state of inertia.
Verstappen returned to the pits for softs and positioned himself behind Hamilton as the green flag waved, the start of 90 seconds of drama and chaos that settled a year-long battle for the championship. Valtteri Bottas, in his final race for Mercedes, toiled behind, a non-factor in the title battle. Kimi Raikkonen's legendary career came to a close with a crash into the wall, while George Russell limped back to the pits as he lost power on his final outing with Williams.
Controversy, however, has been one of the central components of the season, and it played a decisive part here. Further flash points between the championship protagonists – Hamilton and Verstappen, Mercedes and Red Bull – had been expected. Both drivers had been warned before the race that "unsportsmanlike" incidents could be punished by points penalties amid fears that the championship could be settled by a further incident. Until his late pit stops, Verstappen had no answer to the pace of Hamilton and his Mercedes for much of the race. The calendar will grow again in 2022 because of the addition of the Miami Grand Prix.
Twenty-three races — including the return of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after its debut last week — are scheduled from March 20 to Nov. 20. About a month has been cut from the season to avoid a clash with the FIFA World Cup. To accommodate that compressed schedule, races will be held on back-to back Sundays 11 times, up from eight this season, giving teams less time to rest. PosTeamChampionships1Ferrari162Williams93McLaren84Lotus74Mercedes7As the longest-serving team in Formula 1, it's no surprise to see Ferrari sitting atop the Constructors' Championship table.
Omnipresent in Formula 1 since its first season in 1950, the Scuderia has become a symbol for the sport. But it's one thing to turn up to every race, it's another to win them. For decades, the Scarlet Red Ferrari has been at the front of the grid, and it has won the Constructors' title 16 times, along with producing the Drivers' champion on 15 occasions. Its' world champions include Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hil, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher and, most recently, Kimi Raikkonen. He 2021 Formula 1 championship will be decided this Sunday and our Abu Dhabi Grand Prix live blog will bring you all the action from the Yas Marina Circuit.
