The 2026 Formula One season has produced a wealth of data on how teammates are performing against each other across the three core competition formats: qualifying, sprint races and the main Grand Prix. This comprehensive summary captures the head‑to‑head results for each of the eleven teams, highlighting who has the edge in each discipline, how many championship points they have accumulated, and where they sit in the overall standings.

It also notes the occasional driver swaps and the races where no points were awarded because both drivers failed to start or retired. Starting with the McLaren duo, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the numbers show a clear advantage for Norris in the early part of the season. In qualifying, Norris out‑qualified Piastri ten times to six, while in sprint events Norris swept all five sprint sessions, leaving Piastri with zero.

The race results are evenly split, with both drivers sharing eight podium‑level finishes, but Norris again leads in the sprint race tally, winning five to Piastri’s none. Over the championship so far, Norris has amassed 186 points compared with Piastri’s 128, and his finishing positions range from fifth to seventh place, whereas Piastri’s best results sit between seventh and ninth. The Chinese Grand Prix did not contribute any points for either driver because both failed to start the race.

Moving to the Mercedes pair, George Russell and his teammate Andrea Antonelli, the head‑to‑head picture is more balanced but still leans toward Russell. In qualifying, Russell recorded seven better positions versus Antonelli’s nine, while in sprint qualifying the two were almost neck‑and‑neck with Russell taking three and Antonelli two. In the race itself Russell achieved five top‑ten finishes against Antonelli’s eleven, and in sprint races Russell again outperformed Antonelli with four wins to Antonelli’s single.

Their championship points differ markedly: Russell has gathered 236 points, while Antonelli trails with 320 points, reflecting Antonelli’s stronger race finishes in the later part of the season. Their overall placement ranges show Russell finishing between second and first place, while Antonelli’s best results are also in the top two.

Red Bull’s lead driver Max Verstappen continues to dominate his teammate Isack Hadjar. In qualifying Verstappen posted nine better results to Hadjar’s four, and in sprint qualifying he swept all four sessions, leaving Hadjar with none. The race outcomes mirror this dominance: Verstappen secured ten top‑ten finishes compared with Hadjar’s three, and in sprint races he again won all four events. Verstappen’s championship tally stands at 188 points, whereas Hadjar has collected 96 points, and their finishing positions range from sixth for Verstappen to eighth for Hadjar.

Notably, Liam Lawson stepped in for Hadjar at the Dutch, Italian and Spanish Grands Prix, providing a brief substitution that saw Verstappen maintain his superiority in both qualifying and race results. In the Ferrari camp, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton (driving for a different team but included in the comparative list) present a mixed picture. Leclerc’s qualifying record matches Hamilton’s exactly at eight each, but in sprint qualifying Leclerc edged ahead with two wins to Hamilton’s three. In the races, Leclerc secured seven better finishes compared with Hamilton’s nine, while sprint races saw Leclerc win three times to Hamilton’s two.

Their championship points are close, with Leclerc at 191 and Hamilton at 214, and their placement ranges show Leclerc finishing between fourth and third, while Hamilton’s best results fall between third and second. The Alpine pairing of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz shows a clear disparity. Albon’s qualifying record is four to twelve in Sainz’s favor, and in sprint qualifying Albon managed only one top‑two finish compared with Sainz’s four.

In the race, Albon achieved six better results versus Sainz’s ten, and sprint races again favored Sainz with a 1‑4 split. Their championship points are modest, with Albon holding five points and Sainz seven, and their overall positions sit at 19th for Albon and 18th for Sainz.

Williams driver Logan Lawson (who also filled in for Liam Lawson at certain events) versus Nikita Lindblad presents a competitive rivalry. Lawson’s qualifying record is eight to five in Lindblad’s favor, while sprint qualifying is evenly split at two each. In race qualifying, Lawson achieved nine better results compared with Lindblad’s four, and in sprint races Lawson won three to Lindblad’s one. Lawson’s championship total is 65 points versus Lindblad’s 38, and their finishing positions range from ninth for Lawson to eleventh for Lindblad.

When Yuki Tsunoda substituted for Liam Lawson at the Dutch, Italian and Spanish Grands Prix, the head‑to‑head data between Lindblad and Tsunoda shows Lindblad’s dominance: qualifying 3‑0, sprint qualifying 1‑0, race qualifying 2‑1, and sprint race 1‑0. This underscores Lindblad’s consistency when faced with a replacement driver.

The Alpine duo of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll also feature in the analysis. In qualifying, Alonso outperformed Stroll 14‑2, and in sprint qualifying he led 4‑1. Race results were similarly one‑sided, with Alonso achieving nine better finishes to Stroll’s two, and sprint races 3‑2.

However, several Grand Prix events – Australian, Chinese, Barcelona, Dutch and Azerbaijan – did not award any points because both drivers retired, leaving their championship points at seven for Alonso and zero for Stroll, with final placements of 17th and 21st respectively. The Aston Martin pair of Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon experienced mixed fortunes.

In qualifying Bearman led 11‑4, and sprint qualifying was 3‑2 in his favour. Race qualifying was 9‑6, but sprint races saw Ocon turn the tables with three wins to Bearman’s two.

Bearman missed the Spanish GP qualifying, and both drivers retired at the Dutch GP, resulting in no points for those events. Their championship totals stand at 20 for Bearman and 7 for Ocon, with final placements of 13th and 16th. Hulkenberg and Bortoleto’s performance for their team shows a balanced competition in qualifying (7‑9) and a tied sprint qualifying (2‑3).

In the race, both recorded eight identical results, but the sprint race was affected by Hulkenberg’s failure to start and Bortoleto’s disqualification, meaning no points were awarded for that sprint. Their championship points are close, with Hulkenberg at 7 and Bortoleto at 10, and final placements of 15th and 14th.

Pierre Gasly and Nico Colapinto present a strong showing for their squad. Qualifying saw Gasly dominate 13‑3, while sprint qualifying was 3‑2.

In the race, Gasly achieved eight better finishes to Colapinto’s seven, and sprint races were 4‑1. Their championship points are 41 for Gasly and 27 for Colapinto, with final positions of 10th and 12th. Both drivers retired at the Azerbaijan GP, resulting in no points for that event.

Finally, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas recorded identical qualifying results (8‑8) and a close sprint qualifying (3‑2). In the race, Perez secured ten better finishes to Bottas’s four, but sprint races favored Bottas 3‑2. Neither driver earned championship points due to retirements at the Austrian and Hungarian Grands Prix, leaving both with zero points and final placements of 23rd and 22nd.

Overall, the 2026 Formula 1 season continues to deliver intense intra‑team battles, driver swaps, and occasional races where no points are awarded because of retirements or failures to start.
