Verstappen, on the verge of surpassing another incredible record by Alonso

Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen They get along well with each other. They both have great respect for each other for what each of them has achieved Formula 1. The figures of both make it clear that we are dealing with two of the most important pilots to ever pass through the Great Circus.

Exactly at the next Hungarian GP, ​​the three-time Red Bull world champion will have it in his power to surpass a great record from the Asturian. Both are now fourth in the history of drivers who have led at least one lap in a Grand Prix with 87 occasions.. If Verstappen can lead at least one lap in Budapest, he will be placed above the Asturian and his next victim will be Sebastian Vettel, with 107 occasions.

Aston Martin brings an important package of improvements at the Hungaroring but the performance of the AMR-24 this season makes it difficult to imagine that Alonso could be in a position to lead the race on any lap. For its part, in Red Bull is also bringing updates to be able to continue the fight with Mercedes and McLaren, who in recent races are perhaps one point stronger than the Austrians.

Hamilton and Schumacher are still far away

Vettel ‘only’ is 20 races away but Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton They top this ranking with a huge margin compared to their rivals. There is a reason why they are the two drivers with the most victories and the most world championships in Formula history.

The ‘kaiser’ is second since he achieved it lead 142 races During his racing career, or in other words, he was first in at least one lap in 46% of the Grand Prix he participated in. Even more extreme are the numbers of hamilton. The Briton, winner of the last race at Silverstone, hHe is the leader in 188 races. To get an idea of ​​success, Lewis finished first in 54% of the races he entered. An atrocity.
