😱 McLaren is very close to breaking its record for most podiums in a season
Prost & Senna - 25 podiums in 1988 (16 GPs)
Alonso & Hamilton - 24 podiums in 2007 (17 GPs)
Piastri & Norris - 24 podiums in 2025 (14 GPs)
They could do it in less GPs than the MP4/4 too. Wow.
👏 Here are some amazing stats about the 2025 Formula 1 season...
• All 10 teams have finished in the top 6 in a race
• 8 of 10 teams have finished in the top 5 in a race
Success for everyone. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Perfectly balanced again 🤝
Lando Norris’ hard tyre stint in Hungary was very very very good

He will join Lewis Hamilton as the only drivers in Formula 1 history to reach 200 races with one team.
🐎 Hungary is where Charles Leclerc will make his 140th GP with Ferrari, moving him into 3rd most in team history.
Only Michael Schumacher (180) and Kimi Raikkonen (151) will have more GPs with Ferrari.
🤯 Here’s an wild stat: There’s only 1 circuit on the current calendar that hasn’t had Max Verstappen or Charles Leclerc start on pole in the ground-effect era…
Hungary.
😳 Alex Albon has finished 10 races this season
He’s finished ahead of at least one Ferrari in half of those races (5/10).
He deserves his flowers.
🚨 Hope you are hungry for your 2025 Hungary Stat Pack.
Lots of stats for all your favourite drivers. Plus there is one Nicholas Latifi mention inside. Enjoy!

Impressive.
📊 The Hungaroring is a very important circuit for the Verstappens
Jos Verstappen: Got his first podium in Hungary in 1994
Max Verstappen: Got his first pole in Hungary in 2019
If Lewis Hamilton leads 13 laps in Hungary, he would become the first F1 driver to lead 500 laps at a single grand prix 😳

😯 There have been two times this season where Lando Norris has decreased the deficit to Oscar Piastri to under 10 points (after Monaco & Silverstone)...

Most Wins: Lewis Hamilton (8)
Most Poles: Lewis Hamilton (9)
Most Podiums: Lewis Hamilton (12)
Most Points: Lewis Hamilton (286)

It's his yard.
Charles Leclerc & Max Verstappen's medium tyre stints in Spa.
Their laptimes are like synchronized swimming.
😵💫 This is now the first time since 2019 (Russia-Japan-Mexico) that Max Verstappen has gone 3 straight races without being on the podium.
Who would have thought this would have happened in this set of regulations...
