The Hungarian Grand Prix for Formula One, held at the Hungaroring, marks the 39th race with Lewis Hamilton winning a record eight times. Max Verstappen, the current championship leader, has dominated recent seasons but faces stiff competition from other teams like Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes who have all secured wins this year. The race has seen an increase in competitive outcomes, with six different drivers claiming victories in the first 12 races of the season, the most since 2012. Additionally, the F1 penalty points system aims to uphold driving standards, with drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and others accumulating points for various infractions, setting the stage for potential race bans if the threshold is exceeded.
