George Russell’s victory at the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was the 252nd for a Mercedes-powered car, putting Mercedes ahead of Ferrari’s 251 in the all-time Formula 1 Grand Prix win tally for engine manufacturers.

The tally counts engines, not constructors’ wins or championship titles. Mercedes-powered cars have won races for McLaren, Brawn GP and Racing Point, as well as the Mercedes works team. Of Ferrari engines’ 251 wins, 250 came in Ferrari cars; the other was Sebastian Vettel’s 2008 Italian Grand Prix victory for Toro Rosso.

Ferrari had led this measure since overtaking Ford Cosworth at the 2004 British Grand Prix. RacingNews365 counts 153 wins for Mercedes-powered cars since the turbo-hybrid era began in 2014, compared with 29 for Ferrari-powered cars.
