---- indicates changes in track layout and/or lap length.

Note: 2003-05 was decided on “single lap”. Since 2006 the grid has been
decided on a three-period knockout system. The "pole time" is no longer
necessarily the fastest time set during qualifying.

There have been 24 Grands Prix at the Hungaroring,
11 have been won from pole position (last was Hamilton in 2007),
four have been won from second (Kovalainen in 2008),
five have been won from third (Häkkinen in 2000), and
four have been won from lower grid positions – (Mansell, 1989,
12th; Räikkönen, 2005, 4th; Button 2006, 14th, Hamilton 2009, 4th).

Average grid position of winners = 2.833.
