F1 2026 title fight

Andrea Kimi Antonelli leads the 2026 Formula One drivers' championship on 267 points, 66 clear of George Russell, with 10 rounds left to run.

A race win is worth 25 points, so 250 points remain available before sprint races are counted. The title is therefore still mathematically open: George Russell would need to out-score Antonelli by 66 points across the remaining 10 rounds.

13 drivers are still mathematically able to win the championship: Andrea Kimi Antonelli, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri, Isack Hadjar, Liam Lawson, Pierre Gasly, Arvid Lindblad, Franco Colapinto, Oliver Bearman.
