The 2026 Formula 1 season has produced a detailed set of head‑to‑head statistics for every driver pairing across the eleven teams, covering qualifying, sprint events and full‑race results up to and including the Italian Grand Prix. These figures illustrate how teammates have fared against each other in each discipline, as well as the cumulative championship points they have earned and their relative positions in the overall standings. For McLaren, Lando Norris has edged out Oscar Piastri in most categories.
In qualifying Norris recorded eight wins to Piastri's five, while the sprint sessions were completely dominated by Norris with a perfect five‑to‑zero record. In the race results Norris leads 7‑6, again with a flawless sprint record of five‑zero. Their championship tally stands at 171 points for Norris against 116 for Piastri, and Norris currently occupies fourth place in the drivers' table while Piastri sits in seventh.
At Aston Martin, the rivalry between George Russell and the rookie Andrea Antonelli shows a more balanced picture. Russell’s qualifying record is six wins to Antonelli's seven, and in sprint qualifying he holds a narrow 3‑2 edge. In race qualifying Russell leads 4‑9, but the sprint races have been heavily in his favour, 4‑1.
Overall, Russell has amassed 267 championship points compared with Antonelli's 201, placing Russell second in the standings and Antonelli in first among the team’s drivers. Red Bull’s established star Max Verstappen continues to dominate his teammate Hadjar, now officially known as Isack Hadjar.
Verstappen’s qualifying advantage is eight‑to‑three, and he has swept all sprint sessions 4‑0. The race results mirror this dominance with an 8‑3 record, and the championship points reflect a 112‑68 split. Verstappen is currently positioned sixth in the drivers' championship, while Hadjar sits in eighth.
A temporary driver swap saw Liam Lawson step in for Hadjar at the Dutch and Italian rounds. In those events Verstappen’s qualifying edge over Lawson was 2‑0, and the sprint saw a 1‑0 advantage. However, the race results were more evenly matched, with Verstappen failing to score in the Dutch race while Lawson secured a win, and the sprint sessions again favour Verstappen 2‑0.
This brief partnership added a modest points contribution to each driver’s total. At Ferrari, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have produced a tightly contested duel. Leclerc’s qualifying record is 7‑6, but Hamilton has the upper hand in sprint qualifying with a 3‑2 lead.
In race qualifying Leclerc trails 5‑8, while the sprint sessions are split 3‑2 in Hamilton's favour. The championship points stand at 155 for Leclerc and 191 for Hamilton, placing Leclerc fifth and Hamilton third in the overall drivers' leaderboard. Alpine’s internal competition between Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz has been less balanced. Albon’s qualifying record is 3‑10, and he trails 1‑4 in sprint qualifying.
The race results show Albon winning five times to Sainz’s eight, and the sprint again favours Sainz 4‑1. Their championship points are close, with Albon at five and Sainz at six, leaving Albon in 17th place and Sainz in 16th overall. Williams saw a driver change when Yuki Tsunoda replaced Liam Lawson for the Dutch and Italian rounds. Lawson’s head‑to‑head with his teammate Lindblad is positive: Lawson leads 6‑5 in qualifying and 2‑2 in sprint qualifying, while race qualifying shows an 8‑3 advantage and sprint races a 3‑1 lead.
Lawson’s championship total is 51 points versus Lindblad’s 29, putting Lawson ninth and Lindblad eleventh in the standings. In the case of the AlphaTauri pair, the substitution of Tsunoda for Lawson created a new set of results. Lindblad’s qualifying record against Tsunoda is 2‑0, and he also leads 1‑0 in sprint qualifying.
Race qualifying is tied 1‑1, and sprint qualifying remains 1‑0 to Lindblad. Their championship points are 3 for Alonso and 0 for Stroll, with Alonso finishing 19th and Stroll 21st.
Mercedes’ pairing of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll has produced mixed outcomes. Alonso dominates qualifying with an 11‑2 record and a 4‑1 sprint advantage, while race qualifying shows a 7‑2 lead and sprint races a 3‑2 advantage.
However, no points were awarded for several events (Australian, Chinese, Barcelona and Dutch Grands Prix) because both drivers retired from those races. Consequently, Alonso’s championship tally is three points, Stroll’s is zero, placing them 19th and 21st respectively. At Alpine’s sister team, the partnership of Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon has yielded a solid performance for Bearman.
Qualifying sees Bearman ahead 9‑4, with sprint qualifying 3‑2. Race qualifying is 8‑4 in Bearman's favour, while sprint races are split 2‑3 to Ocon. The championship points are 18 for Bearman and 3 for Ocon, ranking Bearman 13th and Ocon 18th overall. Hulkenberg and the newcomer Bortoleto have experienced a challenging season.
Qualifying shows Hulkenberg 6‑7, sprint qualifying 2‑3, race qualifying 5‑8, and sprint races 1‑3. No points were awarded for the Miami sprint because Hulkenberg failed to start and Bortoleto was disqualified.
Their championship points stand at 6 for Hulkenberg and 10 for Bortoleto, placing them 15th and 14th respectively. Gasly and Colapinto have produced a competitive rivalry.
Qualifying is heavily in Gasly’s favour at 11‑2, with sprint qualifying 3‑2. Race results are 8‑5 for Gasly, and sprint races 4‑1. Their championship points are 41 for Gasly and 21 for Colapinto, positioning Gasly 10th and Colapinto 12th in the drivers' standings.
Finally, the pairing of Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas reflects a season of retirements. Qualifying is 6‑7 for Perez, sprint qualifying 3‑2. Race results are 8‑3 for Perez, though both drivers retired in the Austrian and Hungarian Grands Prix, resulting in no points awarded.
Their championship points remain at zero for both, with Perez currently 23rd and Bottas 22nd.
