Winning in Brazil put Lando Norris ahead of Lewis Hamilton on McLaren’s podium list. Only four drivers remain above him, and two are just one podium away.
Lando Norris left Interlagos with more than a winner’s trophy. His Brazilian Grand Prix victory brought his Formula 1 podium total to 50, every one earned with McLaren.
That moves him past Lewis Hamilton’s 49 podiums for the team and into fifth place on McLaren’s all-time list.
The company he now keeps
Alain Prost leads with 63 McLaren podiums, followed by Ayrton Senna on 55. Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard share third with 51 each.
Norris now sits immediately behind them:
Alain Prost — 63
Ayrton Senna — 55
Mika Häkkinen — 51
David Coulthard — 51
Lando Norris — 50
Lewis Hamilton — 49
One more podium would bring Norris level with Häkkinen and Coulthard. Two would put him third outright.
Fifty podiums, one team
There’s an important distinction here: this counts podiums earned for McLaren, not each driver’s entire career. Hamilton’s Mercedes and Ferrari results do not enter the comparison.
Nor does passing Hamilton’s total automatically make Norris’s McLaren career the stronger one. Different seasons, cars and opportunities make that a separate discussion.
What the number establishes is significant enough. Norris has become only the fifth driver to reach 50 Grand Prix podiums for McLaren. In a team history that includes Prost, Senna, Häkkinen and Hamilton, that is a place worth recognizing.
Counts cover Grand Prix podiums through the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix. Sprint results are excluded.
