Lewis Hamilton’s Complete F1 Career Statistics, Records And Results Heading Into 2026

Lewis Hamilton is widely considered Formula 1’s most successful driver of all time as he approaches two full decades in the sport.
The 41-year-old British driver is now in his second season with Ferrari, having previously claimed world championships with both McLaren and Mercedes.
Hamilton holds seven world championships in total, a tally that equals the record set by Michael Schumacher across a remarkable career spanning three teams.
He made his McLaren debut in 2007 and immediately challenged for the title in his debut season, only to narrowly miss out as Kimi Raikkonen claimed the championship for Ferrari.
Hamilton secured his first world title a year later in dramatic circumstances at the Brazilian Grand Prix, overtaking Timo Glock in wet conditions to pip Ferrari’s Felipe Massa on the final lap.
His move to Mercedes in 2013 opened the floodgates, with Hamilton going on to win six championships in seven years with the Silver Arrows.
Mercedes suffered a significant decline after 2021, and Hamilton eventually made the move to Ferrari in 2025 in a bid to revive both his own and the team’s fortunes.
Year one at Ferrari proved difficult, with Hamilton finishing only sixth in the championship, some 267 points behind title winner Lando Norris.
Despite that challenging debut season at Maranello, Hamilton still holds a staggering collection of all-time records that underline his sustained excellence across nearly 20 years.
His headline figures include 105 Grand Prix victories, 104 pole positions, 205 podiums, and seven world titles across 382 Formula 1 starts.
Hamilton’s 105 wins are split between 21 victories with McLaren from 2007 to 2012 and 84 wins with Mercedes between 2013 and 2024, with Ferrari yet to yield a victory.
His most recent win came at the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, where he was initially classified second behind Mercedes team-mate George Russell.
Hamilton was subsequently awarded the victory in the stewards’ room after Russell’s car was found to be underweight following the race.
His very first win came in the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on June 10, leading 67 of the 70 laps on just his sixth Formula 1 start.
Hamilton started that race on pole and held off Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld to take victory by 4.343 seconds in what proved a sensational confirmation of his early promise.
Silverstone stands out as his strongest circuit, where he has taken nine wins from 20 starts, accumulating 345 points and 15 podiums at his home race.
The Hungaroring ranks second in his circuit-by-circuit breakdown, with eight wins and 12 podiums from 19 starts, while Montreal has delivered seven wins from 16 attempts.
Hamilton also boasts six wins apiece at Shanghai, Barcelona, and five wins each at Monza, Sakhir, Spa-Francorchamps, Sochi, and the Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
His season-by-season record shows just how consistently dominant he was during the hybrid era, winning at least nine races in every championship year between 2014 and 2020.
Now in his 20th season, Hamilton heads into the remainder of 2026 with renewed optimism around the new Ferrari SF-26 car and the potential for further records to fall.
