Despite this, Lewis Hamilton gave words of encouragement to Antonelli.\n\nMeanwhile, Mercedes has called a meeting to analyze and understand the performance issues ahead of this weekend&#8217;s race.\n\nMcLaren boss Andrea Stella has praised his drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, stating that they are &#8220;driving like champions&#8221;.\n\nRegarding Max Verstappen, sources indicate that the window for his exit clause has expired, which means he will remain at Red Bull in 2026.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0730%2Fr1525560_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Fernando Alonso\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Un joven Fernando Alonso celebra su primera victoria en F1 con Renault en el Gran Premio de Hungr\u00eda de 2003.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Circuit Statistics and History<\/h2>\n\n\nThe Hungaroring, inaugurated in 1986, was the first circuit to host a Grand Prix behind the Iron Curtain and has remained a fixture on the F1 calendar. This circuit, often compared to a karting track due to its narrow design and the absence of long straights, has undergone only minor modifications over the years.\n\nKnown for its exciting races, the Hungaroring has witnessed five inaugural victories, including those of Damon Hill (1993), Fernando Alonso (2003), Jenson Button (2006), Heikki Kovalainen (2008), Esteban Ocon (2021), and Oscar Piastri (2024).\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Circuit:<\/strong> Hungaroring; Budapest, Hungary<\/li><li><strong>First F1 race:<\/strong> 1986<\/li><li><strong>Laps:<\/strong> 70 laps of 4.38 km.

Drivers who perform well are rewarded with a handmade porcelain trophy by local ceramists, valued at 40,000 euros.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It&#8217;s very technical, with fun and fast combinations of curves. All the angles combine in some way, and a small mistake means the next curve is compromised. It&#8217;s important to find that balance and harmony with the car. It&#8217;s usually a very physical Grand Prix, very hot and busy at the wheel. It&#8217;s a race where physical fitness is key, more than in other races, and it&#8217;s a challenge that I enjoy.<\/p><cite>Nico H\u00fclkenberg<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<strong>Where to watch the action:<\/strong> The grandstand at Turn 1 is an ideal place to witness the action. Drivers refer to the Hungaroring as &#8220;Monaco without walls&#8221;, where the narrow and winding design makes overtaking difficult. The Turn 1 grandstand offers spectators the opportunity to see the drivers brake at the limit after the 908-meter main straight.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hamilton is the most successful driver on this circuit with eight victories.<\/li><li>Hungary is a circuit conducive to surprises and unexpected winners.<\/li><li>Fernando Alonso, at 22 years old, was the youngest driver to achieve pole position and win a Grand Prix in 2003.
