Ferrari and Mercedes reach 251 victories apiece

Ferrari and Mercedes are now joint leaders in Formula 1 history, with each manufacturer credited with 251 Grand Prix victories. Mercedes drew level after Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix, closing a remarkable gap built over more than seven decades of competition.

Ferrari has competed in every F1 season since the championship began in 1950. Its total includes victories achieved by Ferrari-built engines in customer cars, including Sebastian Vettel’s 2008 breakthrough with Toro Rosso. Charles Leclerc celebrated Ferrari’s 250th engine-powered win at the 2026 British Grand Prix, while the manufacturer’s first came through Jose Froilan Gonzalez at Silverstone in 1951.

Mercedes’ record combines its brief works-team appearance in 1954 and 1955 with decades of success as an engine supplier. The manufacturer powered championship-winning campaigns for Juan Manuel Fangio, Mika Hakkinen, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, whose 85 victories account for a substantial share of Mercedes’ tally. Nico Rosberg, Kimi Antonelli, Valtteri Bottas and George Russell have also contributed wins.

Ford Cosworth and Renault remain close behind

Ford Cosworth occupies third place with 176 victories, driven primarily by the legendary DFV engine. The unit delivered 155 wins for teams including Lotus, Brabham, Tyrrell and Williams after Jim Clark used it to win the 1967 Dutch Grand Prix. Every race in the 1969 and 1973 seasons was won by a DFV-powered car. Later versions added 21 victories, with Giancarlo Fisichella securing the final Cosworth win at the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix.

Renault is fourth on 169 wins. The French manufacturer pioneered the regular use of turbocharged engines in F1, finally breaking through when Jean-Pierre Jabouille won the 1979 French Grand Prix. Alain Prost helped unlock Renault’s potential after joining in 1981, while later supply partnerships with Williams, Benetton and Red Bull expanded the tally. Esteban Ocon’s victory at the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix was Renault’s most recent.

Honda’s four eras have produced 89 wins

Honda sits fifth with 89 victories across four separate periods in Formula 1. Richie Ginter delivered the company’s first win at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix, while Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost demonstrated the strength of Honda power during its supplier partnership era.

Honda’s modern return brought further success with Red Bull. Max Verstappen gave the manufacturer its first victory in the V6 turbo-hybrid era, and Honda’s final win under the partnership came at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Historic engines round out the leading group

Coventry Climax is sixth with 40 wins, including the success achieved by Stirling Moss and Jack Brabham during the late 1950s and 1960s. Honda RBPT, the Red Bull Powertrains project supported by Honda after its formal departure, follows with 38 victories through the end of 2025.

TAG Porsche recorded 25 wins with McLaren between 1983 and 1987. The short-lived engine powered championship success for Niki Lauda and Alain Prost before McLaren switched to Honda. BMW completes the available portion of the ranking with 20 victories, beginning with Nelson Piquet’s 1982 Canadian Grand Prix win.

The list underlines how Formula 1 success has been built not only by works teams, but also by engine suppliers whose technology powered multiple constructors across different eras.
