Lewis Hamilton has the most top-10 finishes in F1 2026: 12. Behind the leader come Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, 10), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari, 10), George Russell (Mercedes, 9) and Lando Norris (McLaren, 9). First to fifth is separated by 3. Number of races finished inside the top 10 this season.
The standout single-race number at the Dutch Grand Prix came from Lewis Hamilton: Y. Nobody has pushed harder over the last three rounds than Isack Hadjar (Red Bull): Y, Y across the Belgian and Hungarian Grands Prix — comfortably clear of the level set over the rest of the season. Going the other way, Pierre Gasly (Alpine F1 Team) has given up the most ground: N, N, N across the Belgian, Hungarian and Dutch Grands Prix, below the standard set earlier in the year.
So why is this ranking worth your time? Because it is exactly the kind of question every fan argues about and almost nobody actually counts. This one is counted: 23 drivers and 12 races of the F1 2026 season, built race by race from the official classifications. No votes, no opinions, no cherry-picked highlights — if a driver moves here, something real happened on track. And it recomputes itself after every Grand Prix, so the next time the argument comes up, the answer is already up to date.
