The 2026 Formula One season has produced a wealth of data on how teammates have performed against each other across qualifying, sprint events and full Grand Prix races. Below is a comprehensive summary of the head‑to‑head records for each of the eleven teams, with additional context to help readers understand the significance of the numbers and the storylines that have emerged so far. ### McLaren (Norris vs.
Piastri) In the qualifying sessions throughout the year, Lando Norris has out‑qualified Oscar Piastri nine times to five. When the sprint format was introduced, Norris again proved dominant, winning all five sprint qualifying match‑ups.
In the main races, Norris has a slight edge with eight victories to Piastri’s six, and he also swept the sprint race results, taking five wins to Piastri’s none. The points tally reflects this advantage: Norris has accumulated 186 championship points compared with Piastri’s 120.
In terms of final race positions, Norris has finished between fourth and seventh, while Piastri’s best finishes have ranged from seventh to lower positions. The only blemish on the record is the Chinese Grand Prix, where neither driver started, so no points were awarded. ### Williams (Russell vs.
Antonelli) George Russell has shown consistency in qualifying, posting a 6‑8 record against his younger teammate Alex Antonelli. However, the sprint sessions have been more favorable for Russell, who won three of the five sprint match‑ups, while Antonelli secured two wins. In the race results, Russell finished fourth on average, whereas Antonelli’s best finish was tenth.
The sprint races further highlight Russell’s superiority, with four wins to Antonelli’s single victory. Overall, Russell leads the championship standings with 211 points to Antonelli’s 292, indicating that while Antonelli has gathered more points, his placements have been higher (Antonelli finishing as high as first in some events) compared to Russell’s second‑place best. ### Red Bull (Verstappen vs.
Hadjar) Max Verstappen continues to dominate his teammate Isack Hadjar. In qualifying, Verstappen has out‑performed Hadjar eight times to three, and the sprint format mirrors this dominance with a clean 4‑0 record.
In the Grand Prix races, Verstappen again leads 8‑3, and the sprint races maintain the same 4‑0 split. Verstappen’s championship points total stands at 145, while Hadjar has collected 71. Their finishing positions show Verstappen typically around sixth place, whereas Hadjar has been finishing between eighth and lower positions.
### Red Bull (Verstappen vs. Lawson) When Liam Lawson stepped in for Hadjar at the Dutch, Italian and Spanish rounds, Verstappen’s superiority remained evident.
In qualifying, Verstappen beat Lawson three times to zero, and in the sprint qualifying, he led 1‑0. In the races, Verstappen recorded two wins to Lawson’s single win, and the sprint race was also a 1‑0 victory for Verstappen. These results further cement Verstappen’s position at the top of the team hierarchy. ### Ferrari (Leclerc vs.
Hamilton) Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have had a more balanced rivalry. In qualifying, both drivers have recorded seven equal performances, but Hamilton has taken a slight edge in the sprint sessions with three wins to Leclerc’s two. In the races, Leclerc has a slight disadvantage, finishing six times to Hamilton’s eight, while the sprint races show Leclerc winning three times against Hamilton’s two.
Their championship points are close, with Leclerc at 167 and Hamilton at 191, and their final placements range from Leclerc’s fifth‑to‑third and Hamilton’s third‑to‑first positions, reflecting a tightly contested partnership. ### Alpine (Albon vs.
Sainz) Fernando Alonso’s teammate, the young driver Alejandro Sainz, has generally out‑performed the more experienced Albon. In qualifying, Albon’s record stands at four wins to ten losses, while in sprint qualifying, Albon managed only one win to four defeats. In the race results, Albon’s performance improves slightly to six wins to eight losses, but the sprint races still favor Sainz with a 1‑4 split.
Their championship points are close, with Albon holding five points and Sainz six, and their finishing positions hover around the mid‑field, with Albon typically finishing 17th and Sainz 16th. ### Haas (Lawson vs. Lindblad) Liam Lawson and Nikita Lindblad have shown a competitive edge against each other.
In qualifying, Lawson leads six‑to‑five, while in sprint qualifying the pair are tied at two‑to‑2. In race results, Lawson has a more pronounced advantage with eight wins to three for Lindblad, and the sprint races also favor Lawson 3‑1. Their championship points reflect this, with Lawson at 59 and Lindblad at 31, and their final placements range from Lawson’s ninth‑to‑eleventh and Lindblad’s lower positions.
### Haas (Lindblad vs. Tsunoda) When Yuki Tsunoda replaced Lawson for a few events, Lindblad continued his strong form. In qualifying, Lindblad recorded three straight wins over Tsunoda, and the sprint qualifying saw a 1‑0 win for Lindblad. In the races, Lindblad again out‑performed Tsunoda with a 2‑1 record, and the sprint race was a 1‑0 victory for Lindblad.
These results illustrate Lindblad’s consistency when paired with a rotating teammate. ### Aston Martin (Alonso vs. Stroll) Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll have had a mixed season.
In qualifying, Alonso dominated with a 12‑2 record, and in the sprint qualifying he also led 4‑1. In the races, Alonso’s performance remained strong with eight wins to two for Stroll, and the sprint races saw a 3‑2 advantage. However, several Grand Prix events—Australian, Chinese, Barcelona and Dutch—did not award points because both drivers retired, which impacted their overall championship tallies.
Alonso currently holds three points, while Stroll has none, and their final positions have varied from Alonso’s 19th‑to‑21st places to Stroll’s lower finishes. ### Alpine (Bearman vs.
Ocon) In the Alpine team, the partnership of Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon has produced a varied set of results. Qualifying saw Bearman ahead nine times to four for Ocon, while sprint qualifying gave Bearman a 3‑2 edge.
In the race, Bearman secured eight wins to Ocon’s five, but the sprint race was tighter at 2‑3 in Ocon’s favor. Bearman missed the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying, and both drivers retired in the Dutch Grand Prix, resulting in no points for that event.
Overall, Bearman has accumulated 18 points compared with Ocon’s three, and their final placements range from Bearman’s 13th‑to‑18th and Ocon’s 18th‑to‑21st. ### Alfa Romeo (Hulkenberg vs. Bortoleto) Nico Hulkenberg and Andrea Bortoleto have experienced a challenging season. Qualifying results are evenly split at seven‑to‑seven, while sprint qualifying gave Hulkenberg a 2‑3 advantage.
In the races, Hulkenberg recorded six wins to eight for Bortoleto, and the sprint race saw Hulkenberg win once while Bortoleto was disqualified, resulting in no points for that sprint. Their championship points are close, with Hulkenberg at seven and Bortoleto at ten, and their final placements hover around the mid‑field, with Hulkenberg typically finishing 15th and Bortoleto 14th.
### AlphaTauri (Gasly vs. Colapinto) Pierre Gasly and Oscar Colapinto have had a relatively balanced rivalry. In qualifying, Gasly out‑performed Colapinto eleven‑to‑three, and in sprint qualifying the margin narrowed to three‑to‑two. In the races, Gasly secured eight wins to six for Colapinto, and the sprint races saw a 4‑1 advantage for Gasly.
Their championship points stand at 41 for Gasly and 27 for Colapinto, with final placements ranging from Gasly’s 10th‑to‑12th and Colapinto’s similar mid‑field positions. ### Red Bull (Perez vs. Bottas) Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas have had a mixed record. Qualifying results are tied at seven‑to‑seven, while sprint qualifying gave Perez a slight edge at three‑to‑two.
In the races, Perez recorded eight wins to Bottas’s four, but the sprint race saw Bottas win three to Perez’s two. However, both drivers retired in the Austrian and Hungarian Grands Prix, meaning no points were awarded for those events. Consequently, both drivers currently have zero points in the championship tally, and their final positions range from Perez’s 23rd‑to‑22nd and Bottas’s similar lower‑end finishes.
Overall, the 2026 season showcases a dynamic landscape where veteran drivers often maintain an edge, but emerging talents are steadily closing the gap.
