With Oscar Piastri claiming McLaren’s 187th Grand Prix win on the streets of Baku, the Woking team have now won a Grand Prix at 49 different circuits, surpassing Ferrari on 48 for the all-time unique record…
The funny part was, neither team had won at Baku until yesterday, and appropriately it was a McLaren winning from a Ferrari (Charles LeClerc).

49) Baku (Oscar Piastri, 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix)
I would note that the total of 49 is up for debate, because several lists that compile Grand Prix statistics (GP Racing Stats, StatsF1, good old Wikipedia) define the old Österreichring and the current Red Bull Ring (Which was rebuilt in 1996 as a shortened version of the Österreichring) as being two distinct circuits, despite both being located in the same part of Spielberg.
Case in point to that final sentence, the official Formula 1 website lists all editions of the Austrian Grand Prix (1970-87, 1997-03, 2014-) as occurring at the current Red Bull Ring.
While on the other hand, all of those lists define the Nürburgring as being the same circuit, despite McLaren winning at both the Nordschleife and the shortened Grand Prix circuit of the Nürburgring which opened in 1984, although unlike the Austrian example, both courses still exist as variations of the motorsport complex that is the Nürburgring.
So if you take the official word of Formula 1, then the record is now 48 unique circuits for McLaren, which would also mean Ferrari have won at 47 unique circuits, given they have also won at both versions of the Spielberg track.
The remaining circuits in the 2024 season where McLaren and Ferrari haven’t won at:
McLaren: Las Vegas, Qatar
Ferrari: Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi
