Home Advantage: The Formula 1 Drivers Who Excel at Their Home Grand Prix
As the 2024 Formula 1 calendar gets underway, 14 out of the 20 drivers on the grid will have the opportunity to taste victory at their home race. But what makes a home win so special, and which drivers have excelled at their home grand prix?
For Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and George Russell, the chance to stand on the podium at the British Grand Prix is a coveted prize. Last year, Norris briefly took the lead at the British GP before finishing second behind Max Verstappen, with Hamilton claiming third place. The British trio will be hoping to replicate their success this year.
Charles Leclerc is the only driver to have claimed a home win in 2024, taking his first victory in Monaco in May. The Ferrari driver has faced a mix of fortune and misfortune at his home race, with one retirement, one did not start, and no podiums before his breakthrough win.
