The 2026 Formula One season has generated a wealth of data on how teammates have performed against each other across qualifying sessions, sprint races, and full Grand Prix events. This comprehensive overview breaks down the head-to-head results for each of the eleven teams, highlighting the competitive dynamics between drivers and offering context for the points they have accumulated in the championship so far. ### McLaren: Norris vs. Piastri In the latest qualifying round, Lando Norris out‑scored Oscar Piastri by a margin of 10 to 6 points.
The sprint race that followed saw Norris dominate completely, earning a clean 5‑0 sweep over his teammate. When the full Grand Prix took place, the two drivers finished exactly level on points, each collecting eight points, which reflects the tight battle for podium positions. Over the course of the season, Norris has amassed 186 championship points compared with Piastri's 128, placing Norris consistently in the top five (finishing 5th overall) while Piastri has hovered around the lower end of the top ten (7th place). It should be noted that no points were awarded for the Chinese Grand Prix because both drivers were unable to start the race.
### Williams: Russell vs. Antonelli George Russell has shown a clear edge over his teammate Alex Antonelli in qualifying, posting a 7‑9 score in the most recent session. The sprint race, however, flipped the script slightly with Russell taking three points to Antonelli's two.
In the race itself, Russell secured a solid fifth‑place finish while Antonelli struggled to break into the points, ending the Grand Prix with a 5‑11 split. Russell's season tally stands at 236 points, comfortably ahead of Antonelli's 320, reflecting a strong second‑place championship standing for Russell and a surprising first‑place finish for Antonelli in the team hierarchy.
### Red Bull: Verstappen vs. Hadjar Max Verstappen continues to dominate his teammate Isack Hadjar.
In qualifying, Verstappen earned nine points to Hadjar's four, and the sprint race saw Verstappen sweep all four points available. The Grand Prix results mirrored this dominance, with Verstappen taking ten points to Hadjar's three. Across the season, Verstappen has gathered 188 points, while Hadjar trails with 96, placing Verstappen firmly in the top six of the drivers' standings and Hadjar around eighth place. ### Lawson Substitutions Liam Lawson stepped in for Hadjar for the Dutch, Italian, and Spanish rounds.
During these events, Verstappen maintained his superiority, scoring three points to Lawson's none in qualifying, and a perfect 1‑0 sprint win. In the race, Verstappen earned two points to Lawson's single point, underscoring the gap that still exists even when a substitute driver is involved.
### Ferrari vs. Mercedes: Leclerc vs. Hamilton Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have exchanged blows throughout the season.
In qualifying, the two drivers were evenly matched, each earning eight points. The sprint race, however, gave Leclerc a slight advantage with two points to Hamilton's three. In the full Grand Prix, Leclerc finished seventh while Hamilton secured ninth, resulting in a 7‑9 points split.
Over the year, Leclerc has accumulated 191 points, while Hamilton sits slightly ahead with 214, placing Leclerc in fourth place and Hamilton in third in the overall standings. ### Alpine: Albon vs.
Sainz Fernando Alonso's younger teammate, Alex Albon, has struggled against Carlos Sainz. Qualifying saw Albon earn four points to Sainz's twelve, and the sprint race further widened the gap with Albon taking only one point to Sainz's four. In the race, Albon secured six points compared with Sainz's ten.
Their championship totals stand at a modest five points for Albon and seven for Sainz, with Albon finishing 19th and Sainz 18th overall. ### Haas: Lawson vs. Lindblad Liam Lawson and Nikita Lindblad have produced a mixed set of results.
In qualifying, Lawson earned eight points to Lindblad's five, while the sprint race was evenly split at 2‑2. The race itself gave Lawson a clear advantage with nine points to Lindblad's four, and the sprint added another three‑1 edge.
Lawson's season total is 65 points, placing him ninth, whereas Lindblad trails with 38 points, finishing 11th. ### Replacement Dynamics: Tsunoda and Lawson Yuki Tsunoda replaced Lawson for the same three races, and the head‑to‑head numbers illustrate the challenges of driver swaps.
Lindblad out‑performed Tsunoda in qualifying (3‑0) and the sprint (1‑0), and the race saw Lindblad take two points to Tsunoda's one. These swaps highlight how team strategies adapt when primary drivers are unavailable.
### Aston Martin: Alonso vs. Stroll Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll have experienced a turbulent season.
Qualifying gave Alonso a massive 14‑2 advantage, while the sprint race added a 4‑1 lead. In the Grand Prix, Alonso continued his dominance with a 9‑2 split, but the sprint race narrowed to 3‑2. Despite these strong performances, both drivers suffered retirements in several events, resulting in no points for the Australian, Chinese, Barcelona, Dutch, and Azerbaijan Grands Prix. Their championship points stand at 7 for Alonso and zero for Stroll, with Alonso finishing 17th and Stroll 21st.
### Alpine (Bearman vs. Ocon) Oscar Bearman and Esteban Ocon have had a roller‑coaster season. Qualifying gave Bearman an 11‑4 lead, and the sprint race added a 3‑2 advantage. However, race results were mixed: Bearman earned nine points to Ocon's six in the Grand Prix, while the sprint saw Bearman lose 2‑3 to Ocon.
Bearman's season total is 20 points, placing him 13th, while Ocon has seven points, sitting 16th. Notably, Bearman missed the Spanish qualifying, and both drivers retired in the Dutch Grand Prix, resulting in no points for those events. ### Haas (Hulkenberg vs.
Bortoleto) Nico Hulkenberg and Matteo Bortoleto have shown competitive parity. Qualifying was close at 7‑9, and the sprint race gave Hulkenberg a slight edge (2‑3). The race itself was evenly matched at 8‑8, but a sprint incident saw Hulkenberg earn one point while Bortoleto was disqualified, leaving Hulkenberg with a season total of 7 points and Bortoleto with 10. Their final placements are 15th for Hulkenberg and 14th for Bortoleto.
### AlphaTauri: Gasly vs. Colapinto Pierre Gasly and Oscar Colapinto have exchanged victories throughout the season. Qualifying gave Gasly a 13‑3 advantage, while the sprint race was a 3‑2 win for Gasly.
In the Grand Prix, Gasly earned eight points to Colapinto's seven, and the sprint added a 4‑1 margin. Gasly's championship tally stands at 41 points, placing him 10th, while Colapinto has 27 points, sitting 12th overall. ### Red Bull (Perez vs.
Bottas) Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas have struggled to score points this year. Qualifying was dead‑locked at 8‑8, and the sprint gave Perez a narrow 3‑2 edge. The race saw Perez earn ten points to Bottas's four, but a series of retirements in Austria and Hungary meant no points were awarded for those events. Both drivers ended the season with zero championship points, finishing 23rd and 22nd respectively.
