2026 F1 Monaco Grand Prix - Driver Ratings

Round six of the season is officially in the books, with the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix now an event to look back on rather than look forward to.

It was an utterly bonkers and chaotic weekend at the Circuit de Monaco, but did anyone do enough to warrant a perfect 10 in our driver ratings?

Who enjoyed the weekend of their dreams, and who is now looking perilously over their shoulder?

Read on below to find out!

Top Five

Kimi Antonelli – 10

Is any explanation actually needed here? Pole position, fastest lap, every lap led, the youngest winner in Monaco history, and a 66-point lead in the standings. If that is not the definition of a perfect score, then what is? Kimi Antonelli deserves an 11 out of 10. He is becoming untouchable.

Lewis Hamilton – 9

Lewis Hamilton is quickly growing in confidence in 2026. Back-to-back second-place finishes and a record-equalling eighth podium in Monaco underline that fact. The seven-time world champion was fast in every session but had no answer for Antonelli. Nevertheless, Hamilton is now second in the standings.

Pierre Gasly – 8.5

What complete and utter agony for Pierre Gasly. The Frenchman drove brilliantly all weekend, securing a strong qualifying result before moving into third during the race. He crossed the line believing he had secured a famous podium. Unfortunately, a controversial 10-second time penalty robbed him of it. The big question, though, is whether the penalty was correct.

Liam Lawson – 8.5

Liam Lawson feared he would not even start the Monaco Grand Prix. His car was in pieces just an hour before the race got underway, yet a Racing Bulls miracle saw him take to the grid. He excelled in qualifying and scored valuable points with a fifth-place finish, marking a real step forward.

Fernando Alonso – 8

Give Fernando Alonso a rubber dinghy and he will beat a speedboat! The veteran delivered a Monaco masterclass to secure Aston Martin's first point of the season in 10th place, representing a result of pure relief for the Silverstone-based outfit. Cadillac is now the only team yet to score a point this season.

Bottom Five

Lando Norris – 5

The reigning world champion is enduring a difficult title defence. After claiming pole position and victory in Monaco last year, Lando Norris struggled for pace throughout the weekend. He qualified eighth and spent much of the race towards the back of the top 10 until another power unit failure forced him to retire.

Franco Colapinto – 4.5

After a recent run of sizzling form, it was a bitterly disappointing Monaco Grand Prix for Franco Colapinto. The Alpine driver finished 14th and was significantly slower than Pierre Gasly, who showed just what was possible from the package at the historic venue.

Oliver Bearman – 4.5

It was also a very poor weekend for Oliver Bearman, who was not only eliminated in the first part of qualifying but also went on to retire from the grand prix. Bearman is enduring a difficult season so far, while Esteban Ocon scored two important points for Haas.

Lance Stroll – 4

While Alonso was fighting for points, Lance Stroll was struggling at the back. The Canadian had no answer to the two-time world champion and ultimately crashed out towards the end of the race at the final corner. Another weekend to quickly forget.

George Russell – 4

And then there was George Russell. The Briton is in a serious spot of bother alongside Antonelli, who is running rings around the King's Lynn-born driver. Russell was well adrift of his team-mate and struggled with the car throughout the weekend. In the end, a drive-through penalty saw him finish outside the points and slip to third in the standings. A strong response in Barcelona is now needed.
