British fans can celebrate after the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. For the first time in decades, Formula 1 featured an all-British podium, with Lewis Hamilton claiming his 106th Grand Prix victory. When was the last all-British podium in F1 before the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix?
Until today, the last all-British
F1 podium occurred 58 years ago at the 1968 US Grand Prix at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Race Course. In the penultimate race of the 1968 season, the race was won by Jackie Stewert, with the World Champion of that year Graham Hill coming in P2, and John Surtees rounding out the top three. Stewert won the race by 24 seconds in a race where only six of the 20 starters were classified.
The 1960s was a hugely successful period for British drivers in F1, with Stewert, Hill and Surtees all winning World Championships in that decade, Hill in 1962 and 1968, Surtees in 1964, and Stewert in 1969.
More All-British podiums possible this year
Now, 58 years later, the possibility of another all-British podium is very real, and there could be even more to come.
George Russell is driving for Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton is back in form and returned to winning ways for the first time in two years with Ferrari, while
Lando Norris has remained consistent since winning his first world title in 2025. Youngsters Oliver Bearman and Arvid Lindblad also already show that the nation's future in the sport is in safe hands
Not so long ago, an all-British podium nearly happened at the same circuit. A 2-3-4 occurred in Catalonia two years ago when the chequered flag dropped. It was Norris who finished behind the Red Bull of Verstappen, despite showing signs of the McLaren being the fastest car that weekend. It was another Mercedes 3-4, but this time it was Hamilton who was able to step on the podium ahead of Russell.
It's another purple patch of successful British drivers in the world of Formula 1, and for the first time since 1968, only Britons stepped on the podium in Barcelona 58 years later.
