The Circuit de Catalunya has crowned 19 different drivers since 1991, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton share the record for wins with six each, Max Verstappen has four, Mika Häkkinen three and Fernando Alonso two.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is preparing to host the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, a fixture that has been part of the Formula 1 calendar since 1991 and holds a rich history full of great names and memorable performances. Although the race will be held in September at the new Madrid street circuit (MADRING), the Catalan track keeps its traditional June date and will once again be the scene of battle between the best drivers in the world before Spain has two dates on the calendar for the first time since 1992.
The driver with the most wins in the history of the Catalan circuit is Michael Schumacher, the German Kaiser won on six occasions between 1995 and 2004, a period of absolute dominance that spanned his years at Benetton and Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton equaled that record with his wins between 2014 and 2021, a streak that included five victories in seven years and allowed him to reach the German myth at the top of the record books.
Max Verstappen is the third driver with the most wins, the Dutchman has won on four occasions, his first victory came in 2016 with Red Bull on his debut with the team, and then repeated in 2022, 2023 and 2024 during his period of dominance.
Behind them are Mika Häkkinen (McLaren) with three wins between 1998 and 2000, and a group of drivers with two wins each, Nigel Mansell (Williams), Kimi Räikkönen (McLaren and Ferrari), Fernando Alonso (Renault and Ferrari) and Oscar Piastri (McLaren) who won at the Catalan track for the first time in 2025.
Among constructors, Ferrari leads the historical standings with eight wins, the last achieved by Fernando Alonso in 2013, Williams and Mercedes follow with seven wins each, while Red Bull has six (one more if Verstappen's 2016 win is counted) and McLaren also reaches six, including Piastri's last year.
The circuit's roll of honor includes wins from such diverse drivers as Pastor Maldonado (the Venezuelan won in 2012 with Williams), Mark Webber (2010 with Red Bull) or Jenson Button (2009 with Brawn GP), a sign that the Catalan track has witnessed surprising results throughout its history.
This weekend, the current drivers will have the opportunity to write a new chapter in the circuit's history, Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) championship leader with five consecutive wins starts as favorite, but Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton will seek to get closer to the wins record on a track where they have already achieved great results.
