Hamilton’s 169 points mark a strong return for the veteran at Ferrari, while Leclerc’s 138 points keep the Scuderia within striking distance of Mercedes’ pairing. Norris and Piastri sit fifth and seventh, a split that says as much about McLaren’s season as any single result.

2How Do the 2026 Constructors’ Championship Standings Look?

Mercedes’ 379-point tally rests on the combined output of Antonelli and Russell, while Ferrari’s 307 points draw mostly from Hamilton and Leclerc’s individual totals in the drivers’ table. McLaren’s 220 points place it third on the strength of Norris and Piastri’s results, and Red Bull’s 177 points reflect a season without the win column many expected from Verstappen. A wider view of how constructor totals stack up across different years appears in this season’s full standings breakdown and the grid-position figures in this look at qualifying data.
3How Are the Midfield Drivers Performing in Points This Season?
Isack Hadjar has scored 68 points, Liam Lawson has 43 points, Pierre Gasly has collected 42 points with 1 podium finish, Carlos Sainz has just 6 points and Fernando Alonso has managed 1 point so far this season, according to DeltaF1 and Sky Sports figures for the 2026 campaign.

Hadjar’s 68 points rank him well up the midfield alongside Lawson’s 43 points, while Gasly’s 42 points and single podium mark a steady campaign this season. Sainz’s 6 points and Alonso’s 1 point sit well below their usual career pace, a gap worth tracking through this comparison of career point totals and this record of season-by-season driver output.
4What Career Milestones Have Been Set in the 2026 F1 Season?
Lando Norris took his 17th career pole position and 12th career win, McLaren claimed its 204th constructor win in F1 history, Lance Stroll made his 200th Grand Prix start, and the 2026 season has seen five different winners across five consecutive races, according to STATS F1 records.

| Lance Stroll Grand Prix starts | 200th Grand Prix start (career milestone) | STATS F1 |
| Consecutive races with different winners | 5 races | STATS F1 |

Norris’s 17th pole and 12th win build on a career that has run alongside McLaren’s own record pace, shown by the team’s 204th constructor win this season. Stroll’s 200th start places him in a small group of drivers to reach that number, a mark tied more to longevity than results. The run of five different winners across five races points to a season without one dominant team on Sundays, a theme covered further in this record of season milestones, this breakdown of win totals by driver, and this comparison of top F1 drivers across eras.

Data was drawn from third-party aggregator and broadcaster sites rather than the official F1 governing body feed, and minor discrepancies between sources on pole or podium counts are possible. Historical milestone figures (such as career wins or start totals) are subject to revision if governing bodies issue corrections.
