As of 2026, Ferrari and Mercedes share the record for the most Formula 1® wins by power unit manufacturers, each having secured 251 victories. This milestone reflects decades of competition and innovation from two of the sport’s most enduring and successful engine suppliers.
Ferrari has been a constant presence in Formula 1® since the championship’s inception in 1950, powering its own cars to all 251 wins. Mercedes, meanwhile, first competed as a constructor and engine supplier in the mid-1950s before returning in the 1990s as an engine supplier and later as a constructor from 2010 onwards. Their total of 251 wins includes 85 victories with Lewis Hamilton behind the wheel, highlighting the success of their recent dominant era.
Other manufacturers have also left significant marks on the sport’s history. Ford Cosworth’s DFV engine achieved 176 wins, dominating from the 1960s through the 1980s across various teams. Renault was a pioneer of turbocharged engines and amassed 169 wins before exiting Formula 1® at the end of 2025. Honda, with 89 wins spread over four separate periods, contributed notably to Red Bull’s recent success, while Red Bull Powertrains, which took over Honda’s engine intellectual property from 2022 to 2025, added 38 wins to the tally.
Several other manufacturers have contributed to the sport’s rich engine heritage. TAG Porsche engines powered McLaren to 25 wins between 1983 and 1987, while BMW engines secured 20 victories, including Robert Kubica’s win at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix. BRM, active until 1977, achieved 18 wins with notable figures such as Graham Hill and Chief Development Engineer Tony Rudd playing key roles.
The list of top power unit manufacturers reflects the evolution of Formula 1® technology and competition over 76 years. It highlights how engine development has been central to success, with manufacturers adapting to changing regulations and technological advancements. The achievements of Ferrari and Mercedes stand out not only for their quantity but also for their longevity and adaptability within the sport.
As the championship continues to develop, the legacy of these manufacturers remains a significant part of Formula 1® history. Their records serve as benchmarks for current and future engine suppliers striving to make their mark in the sport.
