F1 Brazilian GP: Drivers with the most wins at Interlagos

Michael Schumacher 1994, 1995, 2000 & 2002

Schumacher's best victory in Brazil was perhaps in 2000.

Surprise, surprise, it’s Michael Schumacher. The most successful driver in the history of Formula 1 normally finds himself on the top of most record tables, and there’s no exception here. Interlagos was never the German’s best track, but he triumphed here on four occasions, all in title-winning seasons.

Ferrari are interestingly not the most successful team in Brazil, that accolade belongs to McLaren, although the Maranello outfit could tie their tally next Sunday. Schumacher won twice for both Benetton and Ferrari, with the most impressive victory probably being that in the year 2000, winning by nearly 40 seconds ahead of Giancarlo Fisichella after David Coulthard’s disqualification.

It should also be noted that Alain Prost holds the record for the most victories at the Brazilian Grand Prix, a record six for the Frenchman. However, since 5 of his 6 wins were at the old Jacarepagua circuit, he doesn’t make it onto the list.

Carlos Reutemann also could’ve arguably made it onto the list, but the first of his two Interlagos victories came in a non-championship round, so it technically doesn’t count. This is also one of the few lists where you won’t find Lewis Hamilton, the Brit has only stood on the top step of the podium once at Interlagos, in 2016.
