Hamilton has been on pole in eight of the nine races this season, one more than he took all last year. Rosberg beat him in Spain. Hamilton has 46 career poles, Rosberg 16.

Rosberg took 11 poles last year, when Mercedes and Williams were the only teams to start on pole. The last non-Mercedes pole was Austria, 2014.

The two Manor Marussia drivers, Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi, are now the only ones yet to score.

HUNGARY

Hungary's debut in 1986 made it the first F1 race in eastern Europe behind what was then the 'Iron Curtain'. This weekend's race is the 30th Hungarian GP.

The track is the slowest permanent circuit on the calendar.

Hamilton has won four times in Hungary (a record he shares with Schumacher). While three of those wins were from pole, he is the only driver to win from pole in the last 10 years at the Hungaroring.

Button (2006) and Alonso (2003) took their first wins in Hungary. Button's was from 14th on the grid, which remains the lowest winning start for the race. The Briton's 2011 win was also his 200th race.

Zsolt Baumgartner is the only Hungarian driver to have competed in his home race (in 2003 and 2004).

MILESTONES

Hamilton has now led at least one lap of a record 18 consecutive Grands Prix. His current run dates back to Hungary last year.
