When did Lewis Hamilton last win an F1 race?

Lewis Hamilton's blockbuster move from Mercedes to Ferrari shocked the sporting world when it was announced in early 2024, but as yet it has to deliver the expected results.

Many hoped the decision to part ways with the team at which he claimed six of his seven drivers' titles would provide podiums and wins aplenty, with a potential eighth championship victory even on the cards.

Deep into his debut season with the Scuderia however and Hamilton has not quite lived up to those expectations.

Heading into the next round at the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo, Hamilton is already way past the anniversary of his last grand prix victory, having now not won a full-length race since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix.

It is 30 races and now well over a year since Lewis climbed to the top step on an F1 podium.

Hamilton's last F1 race win - Belgium 2024

After starting from P3 in last year's race, Hamilton initially took the lead on the third lap of the grand prix, but having pitted on lap 27, failed to regain it by the time the chequered flag was waved.

Instead, his team-mate at the time George Russell stormed to victory with Hamilton settling for P2, but after a devastating verdict found Russell's Mercedes to be underweight, he was disqualified, handing Hamilton the victory for the fifth time in his career at Spa-Francorchamps.

His last win at the chequered flag - Britain 2024

Spa 2024 not providing enough action for you? Well, if it's dramatic storytelling you're after, Hamilton's recent wins have that covered.

Prior to his eventual Belgian GP victory, the seven-time F1 champion had failed to reach the top step of the podium for nearly two-and-a-half years.

But in miraculous fashion at his final home race with Mercedes, Hamilton finally put an end to his winless streak with a fairytale win at Silverstone, marking his first grand prix victory in 945 days.

Mired since his 2021 Saudi Arabian GP victory, Hamilton endured a lengthy spell away from championship contention and the winner's circle. But at the 2024 British GP he finally shattered his winless drought, claiming his 104th career victory and surpassing Michael Schumacher's record for most wins at a single track.

Tough times with Ferrari in 2025 for Lewis Hamilton

Hamilton has struggled so far with Ferrari, and as yet has failed to make the podium in a single race in his debut 2025 season in Maranello.

Lewis did claim a victory in the Sprint Race in China, early in the season, but the feelgood factor from that lasted 24 hours as he was then disqualified from the Grand Prix in Shanghai just a day later.

Lewis Hamilton F1 career wins

Hamilton holds the record for F1 race wins with a staggering 105 in total. His first came in Canada in 2007, with the most recent in 2024 at Spa.

Next on the all-time list is fellow seven-time world champion Schumacher on 91 wins. Hamilton overtook him for top spot in the all-time list by winning the Portuguese Grand Prix in 2020.
