F1 Drivers with the Most Career Podium Finishes

About This Dataset

This chart ranks the Formula One drivers with the most career podium finishes (top-three results) of all time, through the 2025 season. A podium is awarded for finishing first, second or third in a Grand Prix.

✨ AI Insight

Lewis Hamilton dominates this metric with 207 podium finishes, having become the first driver in history to pass 200, and holds a commanding lead of more than 50 over second-placed Michael Schumacher on 155. Max Verstappen sits third with 129 and Sebastian Vettel fourth with 122, both reflecting long runs of front-running consistency. The chart also highlights extraordinary longevity: Alain Prost and Fernando Alonso are tied on 106, despite racing decades apart, and Kimi Räikkönen adds 103 across a career that spanned two stints in the sport. That four active-era drivers, Hamilton, Verstappen, Vettel and Alonso, appear so high shows how the modern calendar's greater number of races has helped recent stars accumulate podiums, though Hamilton's total remains in a class of its own.
