Hungarian GP Preview: Facts & Stats
Sean Kelly looks back at the history of the Hungarian Grand Prix, reviewing the memorable performances and the remarkable records that have been set there throughout the years
To most people, Hungary's contribution to Grand Prix racing only began when the Hungaroring hosted the inaugural World Championship Hungarian Grand Prix, in 1986.
However, the influence of this eastern European nation extends all the way back to the very first Grand Prix in history, at Le Mans in 1906. It was in that race (a two-day affair, incidentally) that 32-year-old Hungarian driver Ferenc Szisz carved his name into motorsport history as the first GP winner. In a manner that even Michael Schumacher would be proud of, Szisz beat his nearest rival Felice Nazzaro by 32 minutes!
