STAT CORNER: Who holds the record for most wins in Mexico?

F1 Grand Prix, GP Mexico, Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez

Today's race will be the 25th F1 encounter in Mexico, 20 of which having run under the name of Mexico Grand Prix, while the last four editions having been referred to as the Mexico City Grand Prix. F1Technical's senior writer Balazs Szabo delivers some stats regarding the most successful drivers and teams at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriquez.

The circuit named in memory of the Rodríguez brothers has hosted 24 editions of the Grand Prix, twenty – the first in 1963 - going by the name of “Mexican Grand Prix” and the last four taking their name from the country’s capital.

Max Verstappen is the most successful driver at this track, which explains why Red Bull is among the teams with the most wins in Mexico, with five in total (2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023).

To find the driver with the most pole positions, one must go back to the 1960s, when Jim Clark, driving for Lotus, took pole four times between 1963 and 1967.

The last two poles have gone to Ferrari courtesy of Charles Leclerc in 2023 and Carlos Sainz in 2024 before Lando Norris clinched his first pole in Mexico yesterday. Last year’s race was actually the last time to date that the Spaniard, now with Williams, won a Grand Prix.

The Mexican round has also been particularly significant for current Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who celebrated his 2017 and 2018 world titles here, and holds the record for the most podium finishes in this race with six.
