Verstappen Has Won at 27 Different F1 Circuits. Singapore Was the Latest.

From his teenage breakthrough in Barcelona to the streets of Marina Bay, Max Verstappen’s winning record spans very different versions of Formula 1.

Singapore added something a repeat victory could not: a new circuit to Max Verstappen’s winning record.

His first Grand Prix victory at Marina Bay on October 11 brought his total to 27 different winning venues. Only Lewis Hamilton has won at more, with 31. Michael Schumacher’s record covers 23.

Those numbers describe the breadth of a career, rather than simply its total victories. A driver can dominate one track for years without adding another venue. Verstappen’s list stretches from Monaco’s narrow streets to Monza’s long straights, from the flowing corners of Suzuka to the stop-start demands of Singapore.

It started before the championships

The first entry was Barcelona in 2016. On his Red Bull debut, Verstappen held off Kimi Räikkönen to become Formula 1’s youngest Grand Prix winner at 18 years and 228 days.

Sepang and Mexico City followed in 2017, then the Red Bull Ring in 2018. These were victories earned before he had a championship-winning season behind him.

Hockenheim joined the list during the rain-hit 2019 German Grand Prix. Interlagos followed later that year. In 2020, he added Silverstone and Yas Marina.

Silverstone also illustrates why circuit names matter. His first win there came in the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, not the British Grand Prix. Different event names do not turn the same venue into two winning circuits.

Different tracks, different demands

Verstappen’s first championship season in 2021 expanded the record further, adding Imola, Monaco, Paul Ricard, Spa-Francorchamps, Zandvoort and the Circuit of the Americas.

Monaco and Zandvoort offered particularly different settings. One placed him between city barriers; the other brought a home victory on a flowing circuit with banked corners.

The following season added Jeddah, Miami, Baku, Montreal, the Hungaroring, Monza and Suzuka. That range included tight street sections, high-speed direction changes and circuits where straight-line performance carries particular weight.

The point is not that every win required the same skill. It is that the winning record kept expanding across tracks that asked different questions of the driver and car.

Singapore closes the latest gap

Bahrain, Albert Park, Lusail and Las Vegas joined in 2023. Shanghai became the 26th venue in 2024.

Singapore took longer. Verstappen had already won championships and repeatedly returned to familiar podiums elsewhere before finally taking the top step at Marina Bay.

Historical comparisons need that context. Calendars change, new circuits arrive and drivers from different eras have different opportunities to build these totals.

Still, 27 venues give his career a remarkable geographic and sporting reach. Singapore was the newest entry in a record that began with a teenager winning his first race for Red Bull.
