Allied to the difficulty to overtake, which puts much more value on a good qualifying session, it makes it a happy hunting ground for maiden victories.

Case in point: Damon Hill, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Heikki Kovalainen, and Esteban Ocon have all managed their first F1 wins at the circuit. Oscar Piastri has now added his name to that list, one comprising of a total of four F1 championships, 72 victories and, interestingly enough, two Super GT titles.
