A Grand Slam (or Grand Chelem) is scored in motor racing if a driver scores pole position in qualifying, the fastest lap in the race and then winning while leading every lap of the race in the same weekend. This significant feat is comparable to a perfect game in baseball, or a 300-game in ten-pin bowling.
To date, only 26 drivers have secured a Grand Slam . There have been 68 in total.
Juan Manuel Fangio took the first Grand Slam in a Formula One World Championship race at the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix . It was only the second World Championship race. Jim Clark obtained the most Grand Slams, with eight, amazingly all achieved in a 32-race period which spanned just over three years. The most recent was at the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix by Max Verstappen ; it was his fiifth Grand Slam.
Only three drivers achieved a Grand Slam at consecutive races: Alberto Ascari (1952 German Grand Prix and 1952 Dutch Grand Prix ), Jim Clark (1963 Dutch Grand Prix and 1963 French Grand Prix ) and Sebastian Vettel (2013 Singapore Grand Prix and 2013 Korean Grand Prix ).
