The most important stats ahead of the Hungarian GP

The Hungarian Grand Prix, the final race before F1's summer break, is set to challenge teams at the Hungaroring. Key statistics include its 4.381km length and Lewis Hamilton's record nine poles and eight wins, with Oscar Piastri claiming his first victory there in 2024. The 14-corner circuit is technical, with overtakes primarily into Turn 1 and 2. Pirelli supplies C3, C4, and C5 compounds, anticipating high thermal degradation from the dark track and hot conditions. The 2024 race favored a two-stop strategy. McLaren's Oscar Piastri leads Lando Norris by 16 points, both contenders. Ferrari and Mercedes aim for better results, while Red Bull seeks to extend its recent dominance in Budapest.
