F1 will soon be heading to the Hungaroring circuit for the annual Hungarian Grand Prix, which has been held every year since the inaugural race in 1986. Given the track, overtaking can be hard for the drivers unless there is a superior advantage from the aerodynamics, and with two consecutive DRS zones, top speeds of around 315 kph (195 mph) are frequently witnessed.
Here is former F1 driver Nico Rosberg analyzing and explaining the Hungaroring circuit.
The race around the track is quite interesting and has produced some of the most decorated winners in F1. Even though some of the best drivers in the history of the sport had the chance to win the Hungarian GP once or twice, some of those broke the barrier to become the best ones on this track.
There are drivers who have won multiple times here and now their names are in the history books of Formula 1.
Who are the most successful drivers of the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix?
Here is a list of the Formula 1 drivers who had the skills and machinery fit enough to win the Hungarian Grand Prix multiple times!
