Lando Norris broke a 30-year-old record when he secured a dominant victory at the Brazil GP. Norris became the first driver to win their first 11 grand prix at 11 different circuits when he crossed the line in first place at Interlagos.
This put him one clear of
Michael Schumacher, who won his first 10 races all at different circuits between 1992 and 1994.
Norris's first
F1 victory came at the Miami GP in 2024 in what felt like a breakthrough for the
McLaren driver after a serious of near misses.
He followed this up with victories in the Netherlands, Singapore and Abu Dhabi last year.
Driving a versatile MCL39 which has competed for wins at almost every race weekend this season, Norris has gone on to win seven races in 2025, remarkably all at different circuits.
The previous record was held by Schumacher, who's first F1 win came at the Belgian GP in 1992 which he won by a margin of over 36 seconds from Nigel Mansell. His second win came at the Portuguese GP in 1993.
Benetton's dominant form in 1994 helped Schumacher to a string of wins in quick succession as he dominated the start of the season.
With eight wins in 1994, Schumacher became the first F1 driver to win their first 10 races at 10 different circuits.
His run however came to an end at the Brazil GP in 1995 as he repeated his Interlagos victory a year earlier.

How much further can Norris go?
Norris can extend his run to 12 race wins at 12 different circuits if he wins in Las Vegas, and 13 if he does it again in Qatar.
As he won last year's Abu Dhabi GP in 2024, his run will come to an end if he wins this season's finale.
The first race of 2026 is in Australia, again a race Norris has won. But after that is a run of four grand prix in China, Japan, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia - not of which are races Norris has won before.
