Ferrari have won 216 races in Formula One, McLaren 174, Williams 113 and Red
Bull 26. One more by Red Bull would equal Benetton’s haul of 27.
Michael Schumacher holds the record for driver victories with 91. Ferrari’s
Fernando Alonso has the second highest total among current drivers (27) and
is level with Britain’s Jackie Stewart in fifth place on the all-time list.
Vettel has 21, McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton 16 and team mate Jenson Button 12.
Williams’ Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari’s Felipe Massa have 11.
Vettel has won 11 of the 17 races this season and 14 of the last 21. He must
win the last two races to equal Schumacher’s record for most wins in a
season (13 with Ferrari in 2004).
Vettel and Schumacher (also 11 wins in 2002) are the only drivers to have won
10 or more races in a season.

Pole position
Vettel has been on pole in 13 of the 17 races this season. Red Bull have been
on pole in 16, with Australian Mark Webber taking the top slot in Spain,
Britain and Germany. That is a Formula One record for a team in a single
season.
The record for poles in a single season by a driver is 14 (Nigel Mansell,
1992). Vettel is only the fourth driver to have taken 13 poles in a season
(Mansell, Ayrton Senna with 13 in 1988 and 1989, and Alain Prost with 13 in
1993).
Vettel has 28 career poles and is sixth on the all-time list. Schumacher
boasts a record 68.
Ferrari’s last pole was with Alonso in Singapore in September 2010.

Vettel is the only driver to have won in Abu Dhabi, in 2009 and 2010. He and
Hamilton are only ones to have started on pole position and the only ones to
have qualified on the front row.
