MADRID, 20 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Formula 1 disputes this weekend the Hungarian GP, the twelfth round of the World Championship, which will be held at the peculiar Hungaroring track, circuit in which Fernando Alonso achieved his first victory in 2003. These are some of the most relevant data of this Grand Prix.
1. McLaren is the team with the most victories in the history of the Hungarian GP (11), while in pole positions McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes are tied at 8.
2. The last two winners of the Hungarian GP have started from 8th (Esteban Ocon) and 10th (Max Verstappen) position.
3. In the last three years, the Hungarian GP has had three different winners from three different teams (2020 Lewis Hamilton – Mercedes, 2021 Ocon – Alpine- and 2022 Verstappen -Red Bull-).
4. If Red Bull wins in Hungary, it will match the best start of a team in Formula 1 history with 11 victories (McLaren 1988).
5. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) has the opportunity to become the driver with the most pole positions in the history of Formula 1 in the same Grand Prix. If he gets it in Hungary it would be nine at the Hungaroring.
6. Max Verstappen has won the last six races that have been held, achieving his best ever winning streak in Formula 1.
7. Fernando Alonso achieved the first of his 32 Formula 1 victories in Hungary in 2003, also being the circuit in which he has scored the most points.
8. Carlos Sainz has managed to score points in seven of the eight Hungarian GPs that he has contested, all consecutively, in which, yes, he has only achieved one podium (3rd in 2021).
9. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) has been left out of the ‘Top 5’ in 7 of the 11 races held in 2023, the same as in the entire season in 2022.
10. With the return of Daniel Ricciardo, Australia will once again have two drivers (him and Oscar Piastri) in a Formula 1 season for the first time since 2013 (Ricciardo himself and Mark Webber).
