Across the 2026 season, there are a total of 28 races split between 22 grands prix and six shorter sprint events dotted through the year.
In the tables below, we have calculated the head-to-head race scores overall, and then again once any retirements, disqualifications, non-starts, non-classifications, and withdrawals are factored in.
For the average finishing position, this has been calculated by adding up the positions a driver has been classified in, then dividing it by the number of times they were classified.
The table does not include sprint events, which are in a second table below.
