Lewis Hamilton has won a record seven times in Hungary (2007, 2009 and 2012 with McLaren. 2013, 2016, 2018, and 2019 with Mercedes). Another would equal Michael Schumacher's record of winning the same grand prix (France) eight times. The Briton has been on pole six times in Hungary and can equal Schumacher's record seven at the circuit.

Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel, and Daniel Ricciardo are also past winners in Hungary. The lowest winning start in Hungary was Jenson Button from 14th on the grid in 2006.

Hungary's 1986 debut made it the first F1 race in eastern Europe. This weekend is the 35th Hungarian GP. Fifteen of the 34 races to date have been won from pole.
