A Grand Slam, also known by its French name grand chelem, is an achievement in Formula One where a driver fulfills the following criteria during a single race weekend:
The record for most Grand Slams is held by Jim Clark, with eight. Among active drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have the joint most with six each.
Notable world champions such as Graham Hill, John Surtees, Giuseppe Farina, Mario Andretti, Alan Jones, Jochen Rindt, Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Jody Scheckter, Alain Prost, Keke Rosberg, Jacques Villeneuve, Jenson Button, Lando Norris, and Kimi Räikkönen never achieved a single Grand Slam in their careers.
Both Ayrton Senna and Nelson Piquet earned their first Grand Slams in the same Grand Prix where they scored their first career victories.
The term should not be confused with the so-called "hat-trick", which is used when a driver achieves pole position, the fastest lap in the race, and wins the race, but without the requirement of leading every lap.
