Most F1 Wins of All Time

Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most Formula 1 race wins, with 105 as of the 2025 season, and as an active driver he can still add to the total. He passed Michael Schumacher’s long-standing mark of 91 in 2020, and the two remain the only drivers ever to top 90 grand prix victories.

Race wins are the headline currency of Formula 1, the clearest measure of a driver’s success across a career. The all-time list rewards both raw speed and longevity, and it comes with a caveat: the calendar has grown enormously over the decades, so modern drivers race far more often than the legends of earlier eras. Here is the full leaderboard of F1’s all-time race winners, the milestones behind them, and what the numbers really mean. All figures are as of the 2025 season.

The record holder: Lewis Hamilton and 105 wins

Hamilton’s rise to the top of the list was built on a remarkable peak with Mercedes, during which he won multiple titles and racked up victories at a historic rate. He broke Schumacher’s record of 91 wins at the 2020 Portuguese Grand Prix and pushed the mark to 105, a number that stood as he moved to Ferrari for a new chapter of his career.

Because Hamilton was still racing into 2025, his record is not necessarily finished. Even if it were, 105 wins across a career of that length represents a level of sustained success that only Schumacher has otherwise approached.

The full leaderboard of career F1 wins

The table below ranks the all-time Formula 1 race win leaders. Active drivers are noted.

Rank	Wins	Driver	Era
1	105*	Lewis Hamilton	2007-present
2	91	Michael Schumacher	1991-2012
3	71*	Max Verstappen	2015-present
4	53	Sebastian Vettel	2007-2022
5	51	Alain Prost	1980-1993
6	41	Ayrton Senna	1984-1994
7	32*	Fernando Alonso	2001-present
8	31	Nigel Mansell	1980-1995
9	27	Jackie Stewart	1965-1973
10	25	Jim Clark	1960-1968

*Active driver; total is current as of the 2025 season. Max Verstappen’s total continued to rise through 2025.

The list blends eras, from the 1960s mastery of Clark and Stewart to the modern dominance of Hamilton and Verstappen. Fernando Alonso remains on the list as an active driver, though his win total has been static for years.

Michael Schumacher and the record he held

For nearly two decades the wins record belonged to Michael Schumacher, whose 91 victories were compiled largely during a Ferrari dynasty that also produced five straight titles. His mark once looked untouchable, and it took Hamilton’s extended Mercedes peak to surpass it. Schumacher’s 91 still sits comfortably second, far ahead of everyone except Hamilton.

Max Verstappen and the next generation

Max Verstappen is the most successful active driver after Hamilton, having pushed past 70 career wins on the back of a historic run that included a record 19 victories in a single season. He remains more than 30 wins short of the record, so a challenge would take years, but he is the clearest long-term threat.

Why the record matters

Career wins are Formula 1’s ultimate measure of on-track success, which is why the top of this list is reserved for the sport’s true greats. Hamilton’s 105 reflects both an extraordinary peak and a long career, and while a growing calendar gives modern drivers more chances, matching that total still demands years of excellence. Wins are also the raw material of championships, which the sport’s F1 points system turns into titles.

The short version: Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most F1 wins with 105, ahead of Michael Schumacher (91) and the active Max Verstappen (past 70). As of the 2025 season, Hamilton is still racing, so his all-time mark can climb even higher.
