The standings provide an overview of an entire Formula 1 season. Every race, sprint race, and world championship point earned can prove decisive in the battle for the world title.
For this reason, fans follow not only the results of individual races, but—more importantly—the progression of the championship standings throughout the year.
F1 drivers’ standings for the 2026 season
The Drivers’ Championship determines which Formula 1 driver can call themselves World Champion at the end of the season.
Drivers such as Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Oscar Piastri, Lewis Hamilton, and other title contenders accumulate points in races and sprint races throughout the year.
Consistency often plays a more significant role in this than isolated victories. A string of podium finishes can ultimately prove more valuable than a few wins interspersed with retirements.
