Red Bull is approaching 100 Formula 1 wins

For Red Bull, the season is unfolding so far like a dream: five victories, including four one-two finishes. The team consisting of Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez knows no limits at the moment. Thanks to their apparent invincibility, a record in F1 is within reach.

Currently, Red Bull Racing has 97 victories in Formula 1. Just three more, and the team will join the 100 club, alongside Ferrari (242 victories), McLaren (183 victories), Mercedes (125 victories), and Williams (114 victories), who have already celebrated 100 victories. If Verstappen or Pérez are also the strongest in Imola and Monaco, the 100th victory could be achieved in Spain.

Ferrari holds the record for the most wins

By the way, Red Bull still has a long way to go before matching Ferrari. The Italian brand has won a total of 242 race victories. The Scuderia’s 100th victory was achieved by Alain Prost on July 8, 1990, at the French Grand Prix in Le Castellet. But one question still remains: does Giancarlo Baghetti’s victory at the 1961 French Grand Prix count? The driver had entered the race independently and still managed to win.

On their side, McLaren achieved its 100th victory thanks to Ayrton Senna on March 28, 1993, during the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. Williams, on the other hand, secured its 100th victory four years later, with Jacques Villeneuve on July 13, 1997, during the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The most successful team in modern Formula 1 is Mercedes. The German brand competed for two seasons in the 1950s and recorded 12 victories, thanks to Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. It was only in 2010 that Mercedes returned to Formula 1 as a team. Nico Rosberg won the team’s first race in nearly sixty years in China (2012). Mercedes then achieved their 100th victory thanks to Lewis Hamilton on October 27, 2019, at the Mexican Grand Prix in Mexico City. Mercedes “only” needed 206 Grand Prix to achieve this.
