List of winners at Spanish Grand Prix from 1951 to 2025

66 laps, 14 turns and an overall track length of 2.89 miles, the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona has been the perennial home to the Spanish Grand Prix since quite a while. This year around, Spain, which forms the third end of the second triple header of the season is expected to unfold a tightly held and hopefully, closely followed battle between the McLaren and the Red Bull car.

In what could be said with a bit of certainty, the Spanish Grand Prix, which happens to be round 9 of the FIA F1 World Championship fight of 2025, could well see a three-way fight to the checkered flag.

This will, in all likelihood, be between the twin McLarens of Oscar Piastri, the pole sitter for this year's event, and his rival and temamate, Lando Norris and of course, Max Verstappen. That's unless of course someone like a Lewis Hamilton or George Russell can pip Verstappen early on to exert track dominance at a venue where wheel-to-wheel racing will serve mouthwatering entertainment!

But having said that, in the context of the current world title fight, Oscar Piastri's pole position comes at a really interesting time after he failed to win the previous two F1 Grand Prixs held in 2025 - the events at Imola and Monaco, respectively.

So it's a touch refereshing to see that after Verstappen reigned supreme at Italy and Norris came strong in Monaco, the title fight once again sees the driver with most points at present returning strongly to capture pole.

Currently, the well-liked Australian driver has a three-point advantage to Lando Norris on the standings; Piastri with 161 is leading the charts with the British driver of the other McLaren stacked on second.

Verstappen, with famous wins this year at Imola and previously, Japan, finds himself 22 points adrift of Norris. This makes the prospect of the Spanish Grand Prix, which was won by none other than the Red Bull of Verstappen on the last three occasions, really interesting. While on the one hand, it sees fans to expect something great from local racing giant - Fernando Alonso, on the other hand, it leaves us speculating whether Norris or Piastri can actually rush to a win or could they find excellent competiton from the flying Dutchman?

In the past, opening lap skirmishes between star drivers of the class of Rosberg, former world champion in 2016, and Hamilton, a seven time world title holder, have led to crashes. But then, there have been awe-inspiring wins here as well in the form of Alonso's titanic duel to the checkered flag in 2013, then in red racing overalls.

A bigger question for this year's event is also whether Carlos Sainz, who hails from Madrid, can work his way up to some points? Remember, the respected Spaniard begins his 2025 Spanish GP from P18, which is a sight no Sainz fan would like and can only dread. So what's up ahead? Having said that, let us see the Spanish GP winners as on date:
