F1 2026 Teammate Standings: Head-to-Head Analysis After Italian Grand Prix

As the 2026 Formula 1 season reaches its midpoint, Sky Sports has released a comprehensive breakdown of teammate rivalries across all ten teams, featuring the latest data on qualifying, sprint, and Grand Prix performances following the Italian Grand Prix.

At McLaren, Lando Norris continues to outperform rookie teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris leads the pair 8-5 in qualifying points and maintains a dominant 12-0 aggregate in race scenarios, holding a 171-116 advantage in the championship standings where he sits fourth compared to Piastri’s seventh.

The dynamic at Mercedes has shifted dramatically in favor of Kimi Antonelli. The rookie has surged ahead of George Russell, leading the race points 9-4 and qualifying 7-6. Antonelli currently occupies second place in the championship with 201 points, overtaking Russell, who trails with 267 points but holds fourth in the standings versus Antonelli’s first-place ranking.

Red Bull Racing sees Max Verstappen firmly established over Isack Hadjar, with Verstappen winning 8-3 in both Grand Prix and qualifying sessions. However, Liam Lawson replaced Hadjar for the Dutch and Italian Grands Prix. In those appearances, Lawson secured a race victory against Verstappen and leads the head-to-head 1-0 in races during that stretch.

At Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton has found his footing against Charles Leclerc. Hamilton leads the race points 8-5 and qualifying points 6-7, putting him in third place in the championship with 191 points to Leclerc’s 155 and fifth place.

Carlos Sainz is proving too strong for Alex Albon at Williams, dominating the head-to-heads with Sainz leading race points 8-5 and qualifying 10-3. Sainz sits 16th in the championship with six points, while Albon is 17th with five.

Liam Lawson continues his impressive form at Racing Bulls alongside Arvid Lindblad. Lawson leads championship points 51-29 and holds commanding margins in both qualifying and race sessions against Lindblad, who recently replaced teammate Yuki Tsunoda for the final two races.

Fernando Alonso maintains a significant gap over Lance Stroll at Aston Martin. Alonso leads race points 7-2 and qualifying 11-2, though neither driver scored points at the Australian, Chinese, Barcelona, or Dutch Grands Prix due to retirements.

Oliver Bearman is making an impact at Haas, outperforming Esteban Ocon with 18 championship points to Ocon’s 3. Bearman leads race points 8-4 and qualifying 9-4, positioning himself 13th in the standings compared to Ocon’s 18th.

In the Audi camp, Gabriel Bortoleto holds a narrow edge over Nico Hulkenberg in the championship (10-6) and race points (8-5), though Hulkenberg leads qualifying 6-7 and sprint performance.

Alpine features a clear hierarchy with Pierre Gasly leading Franco Colapinto 41-21 in championship points and winning both qualifying and race head-to-heads comfortably.

Meanwhile, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas are winless at Cadillac. Both drivers have retired from the Austrian and Hungarian Grands Prix, resulting in zero championship points for the team as they sit 22nd and 23rd in the standings.
