Austrian Grand Prix Winners & History

Circuit Record Holders & Grand Prix History

Max Verstappen stands as the Austrian Grand Prix’s most successful driver, claiming four victories for Red Bull Racing between 2018 and 2023. His record surpasses the three wins achieved by Alain Prost during the 1980s with both Renault and McLaren. The roll of honour also features a competitive tier of two-time winners, including icons like Michael Schumacher and Mika Häkkinen from a prior era, alongside modern victors Nico Rosberg, Valtteri Bottas, and George Russell, who secured his second win in 2026.

A statistical dead heat for constructor supremacy exists between McLaren and Mercedes, who both hold seven victories. McLaren’s success spans multiple decades, from Niki Lauda’s 1984 triumph to Lando Norris’s 2025 win. Mercedes established its dominance during the turbo-hybrid era, securing victories with four different drivers including Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Ferrari remains a formidable force with six wins, its first coming with Lorenzo Bandini in 1964 and its most recent with Charles Leclerc in 2022.

The Grand Prix’s history is one of distinct periods punctuated by long absences from the calendar. After its 1960s debut, it became a fixture through the 1970s and 80s, where teams like Team Lotus and Williams thrived. A late-90s revival saw fierce battles between McLaren and Ferrari. Since its 2014 return, the event was first defined by Mercedes, followed by a period of Red Bull ascendancy. Victories for Ferrari and McLaren preceded the 2026 running, where George Russell brought Mercedes back to the top step.
