The 2010s decade of Formula 1 competition is in the books. Who led the decade in victories, and how many drivers were victorious?

Lewis Hamilton closed out the 2010s decade of Formula 1 competition with a victory in the 2019 season finale at Yas Marina Circuit.

This 55-lap Abu Dhabi Grand Prix around the 21-turn, 3.451-mile (5.554-kilometer) Yas Marina Circuit road course on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates was the 198th and final race of the decade, a decade that began with Fernando Alonso winning the Bahrain Grand Prix at Bahrain International Circuit back in March of 2010.

How many different drivers won a race throughout the decade, and who took the checkered flag on the most occasions?

More from Formula One

In total, 12 different drivers won a Formula 1 race at some point in from 2010 to 2019, with 11 of these 12 drivers winning multiple events.

It was Hamilton who collected the most victories, and even if you completely discount his 11 victories in the 2018 season and his 11 victories in the 2019 season, this would still be the case.

Hamilton’s 73 victories in the decade are the most victories in a decade in Formula 1 history. This win total alone would rank second on the all-time wins list if it was Hamilton’s career win total. Michael Schumacher previously held the record with 56 victories from 2000 through 2009, although he did not compete in Formula 1 from 2007 through 2009. A win total of 56 would rank third on the all-time wins list.

Without further ado, here is the full 2010s Formula 1 wins list.

  1. Lewis Hamilton – 73
  2. Sebastian Vettel – 48
  3. Nico Rosberg – 23
  4. Fernando Alonso – 11

Which Formula 1 drivers will dominate the coming decade? The veterans, particularly Lewis Hamilton, are still experiencing the most success, but the the wave of young talent that has arrived in recent seasons, which already placed several newcomers on the wins list this past decade, should make the next several years very interesting.
