British Grand Prix Past Winners
The British Grand Prix is one of the oldest events in the sport — it hosted the very first round of the 1950 World Championship and has run every season since, at Silverstone continuously since 1987. That long record is a useful betting tool, because it shows the kind of driver and car that wins here.
The names on the trophy
Lewis Hamilton holds the British Grand Prix record with nine wins (2008, 2014-2017, 2019-2021 and 2024), the most by any driver at a single circuit. Jim Clark and Alain Prost share second on five wins apiece, with Nigel Mansell on four and Michael Schumacher on three among the multiple winners. The 1950 Silverstone race opened the first Formula One World Championship, making the British Grand Prix one of only two events to appear in every season alongside the Italian Grand Prix.
What the record tells bettors
The pattern is consistent: Silverstone winners tend to come in cars with strong high-speed downforce and good tyre life, driven by drivers who commit through the fast corners — and the home-hero effect recurs across the decades of British winners. The outright lap reference is Max Verstappen's 1:27.097 race lap from 2020 in the Red Bull RB16, the record around the current configuration. Treat history as context, not a tip — current form and live prices belong in the sportsbook.
