The German Grand Prix in figures

59: This year, the world championship of Formula 1 will visit German soil for the 59th time. In the past, there have been 32 German Grands Prix at Hockenheim, 25 at the Nürburgring and 1 at Avus.

In 4: Michael Schumacher has the record for the number of victories in Germany. With four successes, he is one unit ahead of Juan-Manuel Fangio, Jackie Stewart, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna.

4: In the fast lap exercise, Jim Clark and Jacky Ickx distinguished themselves in Germany. Both drivers achieved four pole positions there during their careers.

20: Historically, Germany is well suited to Ferrari since the Italian manufacturer has won 20 races there. Williams won nine times while McLaren climbed to the top of the podium eight times.

1391: Juan-Manuel Fangio seems well on his way to holding the record for the number of kilometers in the lead at a German Grand Prix for many years. He is ahead of Michael Schumacher (1064) and Jackie Stewart (1050).

1’13”306: The best lap at Hockenheim goes to Michael Schumacher. The German achieved this performance during qualifying for the 2004 German Grand Prix, but it is not recognized as an official record, which is attributed to Kimi Räikkönen in 1'13"780 (2004).
