Round 13 of the 2026 season at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza reshaped several Measure leaderboards. Andrea Kimi Antonelli strengthened his championship position, while Charles Leclerc was the weekend’s sharpest faller in the Momentum ranking.

The 2026 Italian Grand Prix (round 13) took place at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza in Monza, Italy on 2026-09-06, and the post-race picture across Measure’s rankings tilted further toward Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s season-long advantage.
At the front of the Drivers’ Championship, Antonelli added another strong points score to keep the initiative with Mercedes. Behind him, the chasing pack remained headed by George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, while several side-rankings produced headline swings — particularly in Momentum, where the most dramatic drop belonged to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
After Monza, Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) leads the F1 2026 Drivers’ Championship on 267 points. His closest challenger remains his Mercedes team-mate George Russell on 201, with Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) third on 191.
Those totals underline a clear top-three ordering after 13 rounds: Antonelli out front, Russell still best placed to chase, and Hamilton holding P3 as the season moves on from Italy.
The biggest swings in Measure’s tables came in two places: Momentum and Points from outside the top 10. In the Momentum ranking, Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) dropped 19 places to P21 (−3.17), while George Russell (Mercedes) climbed 15 places to P7 (+0.20). Gabriel Bortoleto (Audi) also slid, dropping 10 places to P17 (−1.00).
In Points from outside the top 10, three drivers shared the same downward move: Oliver Bearman (Haas F1 Team) dropped 6 places to P12 on 7, Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) dropped 6 to P21 on 0, and Sergio Pérez (Cadillac F1 Team) dropped 6 to P22 on 0.
Elsewhere in the weekend’s ranking storylines, Measure’s deep-dives flagged key themes including Antonelli consolidating the Best qualifying average lead, Antonelli taking over Best average race finish after Monza, and Norris setting the pace in Momentum overall (+12.97).
Monza leaves the championship picture with Antonelli still in control at the top, and it also highlights how quickly the narrative can shift across performance indicators: Russell’s Momentum rebound contrasts sharply with Leclerc’s steep drop. With multiple Measure leaderboards tightening or changing hands, the next rounds will matter not just for points, but for whether these trendlines stabilize or flip again.
