Max Verstappen finished in ninth place in Hungary. With this, the Red Bull Racing driver continues an unpleasant statistic from this season. Yuki Tsunoda also broke a negative record from the Austrian racing team. These are all the statistics and records after the Hungarian Grand Prix.

These records were broken during the Hungarian Grand Prix

Although it's not a record, Max Verstappen has failed to obtain a podium finish for the fourth time in a row. The Dutchman ended in ninth place in Hungary. The last time he went four Grands Prix without a podium was in Bahrain in 2018.
Verstappen achieved his last podium in Mexico in 2017 and his next one in Spain in 2018. He then went six consecutive Grands Prix without a podium. The last time Verstappen stood on the podium this season was in Canada.

Also, Yuki Tsunoda set a less pleasant statistic to his name after the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Japanese has been, since this past weekend, the Red Bull Racing driver who's gone the longest without scoring any points. Due to his seventeenth place in Hungary, he has not scored points for the seventh consecutive time. No driver from the Austrian racing team has ever done this.
McLaren achieved another 1-2 finish in Hungary. This has already been the seventh time this season that the two McLaren drivers crossed the finish line first. With this, the British team joins the list of most 1-2 finishes in a season.
Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in 2015, top the list with twelve 1-2 finishes in a season. They're followed by the same duo in 2014 with eleven 1-2 finishes. McLaren team occupies the third place with Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna in 1988 recording ten 1-2 finishes. This season, Norris and Piastri currently rank eighth, with still ten Grands Prix to go.
