Six drivers have won the nineteen Grands Prix so far: Antonelli nine, Russell three (Melbourne, Austria and Baku), Verstappen three (Sepang, Singapore and Mexico City), Norris two (Hungary and Zandvoort), Hamilton one (Barcelona, his first for Ferrari) and Leclerc one (Silverstone). Mercedes have won twelve of the nineteen. Hamilton took his first pole of the year in Mexico City, and Pierre Gasly is still the only driver outside the top four teams to start a race from pole, at Monza. Every pole time is in the 2026 pole times.
Each of these has its own race by race review, with the retirements explained and the radio from the races that decided their seasons.
Kimi Antonelli, 380, champion. Nine wins, seven poles and sixteen podiums from nineteen races. He won Monza from nineteenth on the grid, won Austin from pole on one stop while the next three cars stopped twice, and took the title with third in Mexico City, where he needed ninth. Antonelli's 2026, measured.
Max Verstappen, 261. No wins in the first fifteen races, then three in four: Sepang in the rain, Singapore from pole with the sprint as well, and Mexico City from fifth on the grid, holding off Hamilton after a red flag. Third in Austin in between. 98 points from four weekends took him from sixth to second. Verstappen's 2026, measured.
Lewis Hamilton, 259. His first Ferrari win in Barcelona, the 106th of his career, and his first pole of 2026 in Mexico City, by 0.009 seconds. He lost the lead on the first lap when Leclerc went around him at turn 4 and both cars ran off, and finished second, 0.799 seconds behind Verstappen. Fourth in Austin, a second off the podium. Hamilton's 2026, measured.
George Russell, 250. Three wins, five poles and three sprint wins. Since winning in Baku he has had his worst run of the year: a power unit failure at Sepang, a crash from the lead of the Singapore sprint, eighth in Austin after first lap contact with Oscar Piastri, and sixth in Mexico City from the front row after a 10 second penalty for spinning Isack Hadjar. Russell's 2026, measured.
Charles Leclerc, 245. A first Silverstone win, second in Singapore and second in Austin with the fastest lap. In Mexico City he took the lead from Hamilton at turn 4, was given a five second penalty for leaving the track, and finished fourth. Three races ended off the track: no brakes at Monaco, hydraulics in Barcelona and a heavy crash at Monza. Leclerc's 2026, measured.
Lando Norris, 221. Wins from pole in Hungary and at Zandvoort, but a non-start in China, failures in Canada and Monaco and a retirement in Baku. Fifth in Austin, where he tried to make one stop work on a flat-spotted tyre, and fifth again in Mexico City. Norris's 2026, measured.
Oscar Piastri, 144. Did not start in Melbourne or China, then podiums in Japan and Miami, and led Hungary until his gearbox failed. Seventh in Austin, and 13th in Mexico City after a 10 second penalty for colliding with Arvid Lindblad cost him seventh. Piastri's 2026, measured.
Isack Hadjar, 107. Third at Monaco and in Baku, a broken wrist that cost him three races, then sixth in Austin from third on the grid and ninth in Mexico City after Russell spun him on the first lap. Hadjar's 2026, measured.
Liam Lawson, 83. 45 points for Racing Bulls and 14 in three races in Hadjar's Red Bull, and his best run of the year since: seventh in Singapore, ninth in Austin and seventh in Mexico City from 22nd on the grid. Lawson's 2026, measured.

The Formula Dream app plays live driver radio as it is broadcast, transcript beside the audio, and collects every FIA document of the weekend as the stewards publish it: the penalties, the grid drops and the decisions that move points after the flag. It also carries the standings, results and calendar, and a live timing Dashboard, currently in beta.
