From Hamilton’s Home Runs to Senna’s Monaco Magic: The Most Victory at a Single Circuit in F1 History

In addition to ending an almost 1,000-day wait for a race victory, Lewis Hamilton created a new record for the most victories at a single Formula One track last weekend, bringing his total to a remarkable nine victories at Silverstone. In light of this, we have combed through the annals of history to determine which celebrities have dominated particular global circuits.

Five Wins – From Prost to Verstappen

Over the years, a number of drivers have achieved five victories at the same location; Hamilton, for example, has done it at the Sochi Autodrom, Bahrain International Circuit, Yas Marina Circuit, Monza, and Austin’s Circuit of The Americas.

Michael Schumacher has won at four different racetracks: Monza, Indianapolis, the Nurburgring, and Monaco. Max Verstappen has won twice at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico and the Red Bull Ring in Austria. Alain Prost has won twice at Silverstone and the Jacarepagua in Rio de Janeiro.

In this section, there’s also space for Sebastian Vettel, Ayrton Senna, and Graham Hill. The German, Brazilian, and British drivers achieved the milestone at Spa-Francorchamps, Monaco, and Singapore’s Marina Bay Street Circuit, respectively.

Six wins – Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton

Only a few of drivers have achieved the feat of six victories at the same track, and this time around, Schumacher leads the pack with six wins at Suzuka, Spa-Francorchamps, and the Circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya.

Hamilton tops the list once more with six victories at the Shanghai International Circuit and in Barcelona, while Senna memorably surpassed “Mr. Monaco” Hill with his last Monaco victory in 1993 by reaching this total through the narrow, winding, and challenging streets of Monte Carlo.

Eight wins – Schumacher and Hamilton

The motif continues with Hamilton and Schumacher, who each have eight victories at a single track—the Hungaroring for the Mercedes driver and Magny-Cours for the former Ferrari star.

With just 11 race rounds, Schumacher’s victory at the French circuit in 2002 also gave him the fifth of his seven world titles, matching the record held by the illustrious Juan Manuel Fangio, who was born more than 40 years earlier.

Nine wins – Hamilton

We are now in uncharted terrain because of Hamilton’s last-minute surge to victory, which gave him a hardly credible nine victories from 19 races at Silverstone. His first win came in 2008 thanks to a standout effort in both wet and dry circumstances.

Amazingly, Hamilton has the opportunity to tie his own record at the very next race because, as was previously established, he has also won eight times in Hungary.

In his first season of 2007, the former McLaren driver won the Hungarian Grand Prix for the first time. Since then, he has scored seven more victories in Budapest, the most recent coming in 2020. Therefore, he will bump his score up to nine wins at two different circuits if he wins the Hungaroring next week after winning at Silverstone.
