The 2026 Formula One season has produced a wealth of data on how teammates have stacked up against each other across qualifying, sprint events and the main races. Below is a comprehensive recap of the head‑to‑head results for each of the eleven teams, supplemented with additional context to help fans understand the significance of these numbers and the storylines they reveal. ### McLaren (Norris vs.
Piastri) In the latest qualifying sessions, Lando Norris has out‑performed Oscar Piastri 9‑5 across the Grand Prix weekends that have taken place so far. When the sprint format was introduced, Norris proved even more dominant, winning all five sprint qualifying duels (5‑0).
In the main races, Norris has a slight edge with an 8‑6 record, while the sprint races again show a clean sweep for Norris (5‑0). Over the course of the season, Norris has accumulated 186 championship points compared with Piastri’s 120, placing Norris in fourth overall and Piastri in seventh.
The only race where neither driver earned points was the Chinese Grand Prix, where both cars failed to start due to technical issues. ### Williams (Russell vs. Antonelli) George Russell has shown mixed results against his younger teammate Alex Antonelli. In qualifying, Russell’s record stands at 6‑8, indicating Antonelli has edged him out in two more sessions.
However, the sprint events have swung in Russell’s favour, with a 3‑2 advantage. In the race results, Russell finished ahead of Antonelli in four out of ten Grand Prix, while Antonelli managed a solitary sprint win (4‑1). The championship tally reflects the disparity: Russell leads with 211 points to Antonelli’s 292, and the final standings place Russell second overall, with Antonelli surprisingly topping the team’s driver ranking in first place. ### Red Bull (Verstappen vs.
Hadjar) Max Verstappen continues his dominance, posting an 8‑3 qualifying lead over his teammate Isack Hadjar. The sprint sessions mirror this gap, with Verstappen winning four sprints to Hadjar’s none.
In the races, Verstappen again records an 8‑3 advantage. Their championship points are 145 for Verstappen and 71 for Hadjar, with Verstappen finishing sixth in the drivers’ championship and Hadjar eighth. ### Lawson Substitutions (Verstappen vs. Lawson) During the Dutch, Italian and Spanish rounds, Liam Lawson stepped in for Hadjar.
In those events, Verstappen’s qualifying superiority was 3‑0 and his sprint lead 1‑0. Race results were close, with Verstappen finishing 2‑1 ahead, and the sprint again showing a 1‑0 advantage. These brief head‑to‑head numbers illustrate how Verstappen’s pace remains unchallenged even when the team rotates drivers. ### Ferrari (Leclerc vs.
Hamilton) Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have produced a tightly contested rivalry. Qualifying results are evenly split at 7‑7, while the sprint format gave Hamilton a slight edge (3‑2). In the races, Leclerc finished ahead of Hamilton in six out of fourteen Grand Prix, whereas Hamilton took eight victories. Their championship points are close, with Leclerc at 167 and Hamilton at 191, placing Leclerc fifth and Hamilton third in the overall standings.
### Alpine (Albon vs. Sainz) Fernando Alonso’s teammate, Alex Albon, has struggled against Carlos Sainz. Qualifying shows Albon trailing 4‑10, and the sprint results are 1‑4 in Sainz’s favour.
Race outcomes are similarly lopsided, with Albon 6‑8 and Sainz 1‑4 in the sprint. Their points tally is modest, with Albon collecting five points to Sainz’s six, and they sit near the back of the driver table (Albon 17th, Sainz 16th). ### Aston Martin (Lawson vs. Lindblad) Liam Lawson’s head‑to‑head with his teammate Lindblad reveals a competitive balance.
Qualifying sees Lawson ahead 6‑5, while the sprint is dead‑locked at 2‑2. In race performance, Lawson leads 8‑3, and the sprint again favours Lawson 3‑1.
Their championship points are 59 for Lawson and 31 for Lindblad, positioning Lawson ninth and Lindblad eleventh overall. ### AlphaTauri (Lindblad vs.
Tsunoda) When Yuki Tsunoda replaced Lawson for three races, the results shifted. Lindblad’s qualifying advantage was 3‑0, and his sprint lead 1‑0. In the races, Lindblad finished ahead 2‑1, and the sprint mirrored the same 1‑0 margin. These figures highlight Lindblad’s consistency when paired with a rotating teammate.
### Alpine (Alonso vs. Stroll) Fernando Alonso’s battles with Lance Stroll have been marked by a stark contrast between qualifying and race performance.
Alonso dominates qualifying with a 12‑2 record and a 4‑1 sprint edge. In the races, Alonso’s advantage narrows to 8‑2, though he still out‑sprints Stroll 3‑2. Notably, no points were awarded for the Australian, Chinese, Barcelona, and Dutch Grand Prix because both drivers retired. Their championship points stand at 3 for Alonso and none for Stroll, placing Alonso 19th and Stroll 21st.
### Mercedes (Bearman vs. Ocon) Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon have had a mixed season. Qualifying shows Bearman ahead 9‑4, while the sprint gives him a 3‑2 lead.
Race results are 8‑5 for Bearman, but the sprint sees Ocon taking a 3‑2 advantage. Bearman missed the Spanish GP qualifying, and both drivers retired in the Dutch GP, resulting in no points for that event.
Overall, Bearman has 18 points to Ocon’s 3, with final positions of 13th for Bearman and 18th for Ocon. ### Haas (Hulkenberg vs. Bortoleto) Nico Hulkenberg and his teammate Bortoleto have produced a fairly even rivalry. Qualifying is tied at 7‑7, and the sprint sees Hulkenberg ahead 2‑3.
In the races, Hulkenberg leads 6‑8, while the sprint shows a 1‑3 disadvantage due to Bortoleto’s disqualification in Miami. Their championship points are 7 for Hulkenberg and 10 for Bortoleto, placing them 15th and 14th respectively. ### AlphaTauri (Gasly vs. Colapinto) Pierre Gasly has a clear edge over his teammate Oliver Colapinto.
Qualifying results are 11‑3, and the sprint gives Gasly a 3‑2 advantage. In the races, Gasly finishes ahead 8‑6, and the sprint again favours him 4‑1. Their points totals are 41 for Gasly and 27 for Colapinto, ranking them 10th and 12th in the driver standings.
### Red Bull (Perez vs. Bottas) Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas have experienced a season of retirements.
Qualifying is evenly split at 7‑7, and the sprint sees Perez ahead 3‑2. In the races, Perez leads 8‑4, though the sprint flips to Bottas 3‑2. No points were awarded for the Austrian and Hungarian Grand Prix because both drivers retired, leaving both with zero championship points.
Their final placements are 23rd for Perez and 22nd for Bottas. ### Overall Season Overview The 2026 Formula 1 calendar features a full slate of races streamed live on Sky Sports F1, with the option to watch without a long‑term contract via NOW.
