Circuit Record Holders & Grand Prix History
The roll of honour at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix is overwhelmingly defined by Max Verstappen, who stands as the circuit’s most decorated driver. His sequence of four victories for Red Bull across the 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 seasons established an unparalleled record of success at the Imola circuit. The only other victor in this period was Lewis Hamilton, whose solitary win came at the inaugural 2020 event, highlighting a swift transition of driver supremacy at the venue.
From a constructor’s standpoint, Red Bull Racing asserted its authority to become the dominant force at Imola. The team secured four commanding wins, all powered by Honda-derived engines, showcasing a near-perfect synergy of chassis, powertrain, and driver talent. This run of success left Mercedes as the only other team to reach the top step, with its single 2020 victory marking a stark contrast to the era of Red Bull’s subsequent control over the event.
The Grand Prix’s early history charts a clear power shift in the sport. After an initial victory for the then-reigning champions Mercedes and Hamilton, the event became the exclusive territory of the Verstappen-Red Bull combination. This period of sustained performance cemented the team’s status and created a formidable competitive benchmark for the Grand Prix, setting the stage for the intense battles that would define the 2026 triumph.
