Hungary win completes Mercedes calendar sweep

Lewis Hamilton's win in last weekend's Canadian Grand Prix means they have now won a race at every track Formula One calendar in the last three years.

Since the 1.6 Litre V6 Hybrid Formula was introduced at the start of 2014, Mercedes has been a dominant force, winning 42 out of 49 races and although previously winning the Hungarian Grand Prix (in 2013, courtesy of Hamilton), the team has struggled at the circuit since the team engine Formula came into force, taking just one podium finish out of a possible four.

That form was quickly forgotten after the 2016 edition of the race, with Hamilton leading team mate Nico Rosberg home in a Mercedes one-two, completing their clean sweep of the current F1 calendar.

With wins in newer venues Baku (2016) and Sochi (2014, 2015, 16), Mercedes are the only team currently able to lay claim to a clean sweep of all 21 races the current schedule.

Are the nearest challengers to Mercedes' record, with 17 wins on currently used circuits. McLaren are just one behind with 16 although both have wins on previous configurations of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico. Mercedes have only competed in nine full seasons throughout their history, considerably less than Ferrari and McLaren
