What do the latest F1 standings reveal after the recent races? George Russell has emerged as the leader in the Drivers’ Championship following his victory at the Australian Grand Prix and a strong performance in the Chinese Grand Prix.

In the Chinese Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli claimed his first F1 victory, marking a significant milestone in his career. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton continued to demonstrate his competitiveness by finishing in the top three in both the sprint race and the main event.

However, not all drivers had a successful outing. Max Verstappen faced a challenging race, resulting in a Did Not Finish (DNF) and failing to score any points. This setback has impacted his position in the standings.

The current Drivers’ Championship standings after the Australian Grand Prix show Russell leading with 25 points, followed by Antonelli with 18 points and Charles Leclerc in third with 15 points. Hamilton is close behind with 12 points.

In terms of the Constructors’ Championship, Mercedes is currently in the lead with 98 points, followed by Ferrari with 67 points. McLaren, Haas, and Red Bull round out the top five, with 18, 17, and 12 points respectively.

Several drivers recorded DNSs at the Australian Grand Prix, including Oscar Piastri and Nico Hulkenberg, which affected their standings. The second round of the F1 2026 championship took place at the Shanghai International Circuit, and the Chinese Grand Prix was the first full-length race of the season.

Ferrari’s recent performance indicates they are catching up in the Constructors’ Championship, which could lead to a more competitive season ahead.

As the championship progresses, fans will be keen to see how the standings evolve and whether Russell can maintain his lead amidst fierce competition from other drivers.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the impact of upcoming races on the current standings, but the excitement surrounding the F1 season continues to build.
