Canadian Grand Prix Winners & History

Circuit Record Holders & Grand Prix History

The roll of honour is headed by two seven-time winners, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, whose respective periods of command defined separate eras. Schumacher secured his victories for Benetton and Ferrari between 1994 and 2004, while Hamilton’s dominance spanned from his 2007 debut win with McLaren to his final triumph in 2019. Other multiple victors include three-time winners Nelson Piquet and Max Verstappen, the latter securing a commanding hat-trick from 2022 to 2024. The list is further distinguished by a host of world champions including Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, and Sebastian Vettel.

McLaren and Ferrari have historically vied for supremacy in Canada, with the Woking outfit claiming 13 victories to Maranello’s 12. McLaren’s success was spread across several decades, from Denny Hulme in 1968 to Jenson Button’s 2011 win in a marathon four-hour race. Ferrari’s challenge was often spearheaded by Michael Schumacher during a formidable run at the turn of the millennium. Williams also established itself as a major force with seven wins, while recent decades saw the rise of Red Bull Racing and Mercedes, whose recent resurgence brought its total to six.

The Grand Prix’s timeline tracks the sport’s technological tides, from early victories for Brabham and Tyrrell to the turbo-powered 1980s. The Schumacher-Ferrari dynasty followed, preceding a competitive period before Mercedes asserted control with Lewis Hamilton in the hybrid era. A brief but total period of Red Bull supremacy under Max Verstappen from 2022-2024 was ultimately broken by a Mercedes return to form, which saw George Russell win in 2025 before Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s breakthrough victory for the team in 2026.
