Hungarian Grand Prix facts, notes
F1 Opta facts:
- Sebastian Vettel and Hamilton have alternated victories across the last four F1 races in Hungary, with the British driver winning last year.
- If Hamilton wins the 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix, it will be the second time he has recorded consecutive wins at the Hungaroring (2012, 2013). He’d be the first driver to achieve this feat twice.
- Hamilton (six) is one pole position shy of equaling Michael Schumacher (seven) as the driver with the most poles at the Hungarian GP.
- Valtteri Bottas needs one more win in 2019 to equal his tally of three victories in 2017, his most successful season in F1 so far.
- Bottas has finished on the podium only once in his last six races at the Hungarian GP (third in 2017).
- Vettel has a chance to make the Hungaroring the most successful circuit of his Ferrari career; so far he has two victories there with Scuderia, as many as at Albert Park in Melbourne and the Bahrain Grand Prix.
- With his withdrawal at the German GP, Charles Leclerc ended a streak of four consecutive races on the podium, the best run of his F1 career.
- No team has more victories at Hungaroring than McLaren (11), although the team has not won there since 2012 (Lewis Hamilton).

- The pole winner has gone on to win the Hungarian Grand Prix in only four of the last 11 years.
- Kimi Raikkonen has the most podium finishes of any driver at Hungaroring (nine). He also has the joint-most fastest laps at the Hungarian GP (four, same as Schumacher).
- The last time Daniel Ricciardo recorded the fastest lap of a race was at the 2018 Hungarian GP. The Australian has recorded the fastest lap twice in the last four races in Hungary.
- In Germany, Carlos Sainz recorded his best result with McLaren (fifth). He has secured points in each of his last four races, his best run with the team.
- Sainz has the chance to record the 100th F1 podium for Spanish drivers (Fernando Alonso 97, Pedro Martínez de la Rosa and Alfonso de Portago).
