Quick Summary
- We rolled up every winner already recorded on Race.mx across the Mexican Grand Prix (1962-2025), the Mexico City E-Prix (2016-2026), and the Baja 1000 and Baja 500 (1967-2026) into a single set of aggregate stats nobody had tallied before.
- Great Britain has produced more Mexican Grand Prix winners than any other nationality (10 of 26 races), and Red Bull is the winningest F1 constructor in Mexico City (5 wins).
- The Baja 1000 has flipped from a motorcycle-dominated race to a truck-dominated one: bikes won overall in 25 of 32 runnings from 1967-1999, but cars and trucks have won every single running since 2019.
- Ford is the most successful manufacturer in Mexican desert racing, with 16 combined overall wins across the Baja 1000 and Baja 500 since 2010.

Which nationality has won the most races in Mexico?
Counting every winner on our Mexican Grand Prix winners page (1962-2025, excluding the 2020 cancellation and the decades the race wasn’t held), British drivers have won more often than any other nationality, helped by Lewis Hamilton, Nigel Mansell and others on top of Max Verstappen’s run for the Netherlands.
| Nationality | Mexican GP wins (of 26) |
|---|---|
| Great Britain | 10 |
| Netherlands | 5 |
| France | 2 |
| United States | 2 |
| Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Austria, Belgium, New Zealand | 1 each |
At the Mexico City E-Prix, Germany leads with 3 wins in the 10 races held there (Pascal Wehrlein alone accounts for two), ahead of Great Britain, New Zealand and Brazil with 2 each. No Mexican driver has won either race outright, though Sergio “Checo” Pérez has taken multiple podiums at his home Grand Prix.
Which manufacturer wins the most in Mexico?
The answer depends on the series, since each one measures “manufacturer” differently.
| Series | Winningest manufacturer/constructor | Wins |
|---|---|---|
| F1 Mexican Grand Prix | Red Bull | 5 of 26 |
| Mexico City E-Prix | Audi (ABT-run team) | 3 of 10 |
| Baja 1000, overall winner, 1967-1999 | Honda | 10 of 32 |
| Baja 1000 + Baja 500, overall car/truck winner since 2010 | Ford | 16 combined |
Honda’s Baja 1000 record is almost entirely on two wheels; see the next section for why that matters.
Motorcycles or trucks: who really wins the Baja 1000 overall?
For most of the Baja 1000’s history, the fastest vehicle across the entire course, car, truck or motorcycle, was usually a motorcycle. Of the 32 runnings from 1967 to 1999 where SCORE named one single overall winner, a motorcycle won 25 times (78%), mostly Honda and Kawasaki factory teams. Cars and trucks took the outright win only 7 times in that span.
Since 2000, SCORE has tracked “fastest car/truck” and “fastest motorcycle” as separate categories, but its overall-winner designation still goes to whichever was faster. From 2000-2009, that was a motorcycle every single year. Since 2010, the pendulum has swung hard the other way: cars and trucks have taken the overall win in 13 of the last 16 runnings, including every year from 2019 to 2025 without exception. Every one of those recent overall truck wins has gone to a Ford or a Chevrolet.
The Baja 1000 winners page and Baja 500 winners page have the year-by-year detail behind this.
Has a Mexican driver ever won a race we cover?
Yes, in the series built around Mexican competitors. NASCAR Mexico Series champions are almost entirely Mexican nationals, and Rubén García Jr. is the winningest, with 5 titles (2015, 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2024) – see the full list on our NASCAR Mexico standings page. In off-road racing, Mexican driver Alan Ampudia has taken overall Baja wins; see his driver profile for details. No Mexican driver has yet won the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix or the Mexico City E-Prix outright.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this data come from?
Every figure here is a rollup of winners already published and sourced on our individual race-winners pages for the Mexican Grand Prix, the Mexico City E-Prix, the Baja 1000 and the Baja 500. We didn’t add any new results, we only aggregated the ones already verified there.
Why does the nationality count for the Mexican Grand Prix only add up to 26?
The race wasn’t held every year (it was absent from 1971-1985 and 1993-2014), and the 2020 edition was cancelled for COVID-19. 26 is the number of Mexican Grands Prix that were actually run and had a clear individual winner.
Why did the Baja 1000 shift from motorcycles to trucks?
We only track who won, not why, so we won’t speculate about engineering or budget reasons here. What the data shows clearly is the timing: motorcycles dominated the overall standings for over three decades, and that flipped decisively starting around 2010.
Is Red Bull’s Mexican Grand Prix record all from one driver?
Yes. All five of Red Bull’s Mexican Grand Prix wins came from Max Verstappen, in 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023. That is also why the Netherlands is second in the nationality table.
Correction, September 18, 2026: This answer previously said “No” and described Red Bull’s five wins as separate from Verstappen’s. Our Mexican Grand Prix winners table shows Verstappen won all five of them for Red Bull.
Can I reuse this data?
Yes. The winner-by-winner detail behind every stat on this page is open data (CC BY 4.0) on our Open Data page, including /data/winners.json.
