Interesting numbers: Most Successful Constructors in F1 History

However, it is Red Bull who hold the record for the most dominant year ever and are closing on Ferrari's impressive record-breaking statistics, while Brawn GP remains the team with the highest win percentage in a single Formula 1 season.

Max Verstappen enters the season chasing a fifth consecutive F1 drivers’ title with Red Bull. Should he succeed, he would close in further on the joint record of seven World Championships held by Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. The 2025 campaign is also pivotal for Hamilton, who could become the first to reach eight titles if Ferrari provide a winning car.

While McLaren scored the most points of any team last season, their place in the pantheon of all-time great constructors remains hotly debated.

Ferrari lead the list of all-time Formula 1 race victories with 248 wins from 1,098 Grands Prix—a 22.60% win rate. Their tally is 59 clear of McLaren in second, who have claimed 189 victories from 970 starts.

Mercedes sit third with 129 wins, the majority of which have come since their full-time return to the grid in 2010. While the Silver Arrows achieved early success in 1954 and 1955, it is the turbo-hybrid era that cemented their modern legacy.

In terms of podium finishes, Ferrari also dominate with 829, placing them 305 ahead of McLaren on 524. Williams remain in third with 313 podiums, but the battle for fourth is heating up—Mercedes currently hold the spot with 298, just ahead of Red Bull on 282.

Ferrari’s most dominant venue is the German Grand Prix, with the Scuderia winning there 21 times—more than any other team. That figure even eclipses their tally at their home race in Italy.

McLaren’s strongest venue is the Monaco Grand Prix, where they have triumphed 15 times since 1984. That era included standout performances from Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, who turned the principality into a McLaren stronghold during the late 1980s.

No season has been more one-sided than Red Bull’s 2023 campaign. The team won 21 of the 22 Grands Prix, a staggering 95.50% win rate, missing out only once all year. That figure surpasses even McLaren’s iconic 1988 season, when Senna and Prost won 15 out of 16 races—a 93.80% success rate.

Mercedes’ 2016 season, in which Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg claimed 19 wins from 21 races, ranks just behind with a 90.50% win percentage.

While Red Bull and McLaren have laid claim to the most dominant full seasons, Brawn GP still holds the record for the highest win percentage in Formula 1 history. The team, formed from the remnants of Honda’s 2008 exit, shocked the paddock in 2009 with their innovative double diffuser.

Powered by early-season dominance, Brawn won eight of the first nine races and ultimately secured both titles—finishing the year with 8 wins from 17 starts, a 47.06% win rate. As a one-season team, they retain the unique record for best win percentage across their entire time in F1.

Despite leading nearly all historical categories, Ferrari have not won a drivers’ championship since Kimi Räikkönen triumphed in 2007. With Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz entering the final year of their current partnership before Lewis Hamilton joins in 2026, the Scuderia will be eager to return to title contention this season.

The records say Ferrari are the greatest team in F1 history—but the present belongs to Red Bull and Verstappen. Whether 2025 marks the beginning of a new era or the continuation of Red Bull’s reign remains to be seen.
