Round 4 of the 2026 season at Miami International Autodrome reshaped several Measure rankings. Andrea Kimi Antonelli remains in full control at the top of the championship as notable movers emerged across positions-gained and average-finish tables.

The 2026 Miami Grand Prix (May 3) delivered a weekend of sharp swings in the Measure rankings, even as the championship picture at the very top stayed firmly Mercedes-coloured. Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s points total moved to 100 after four counted races, keeping him clear of the pack.
Behind that, the storylines split in two: stability at the front versus volatility across the ranking ecosystem. Charles Leclerc absorbed the most visible hit, featuring as a major mover in both “Most positions gained” and “Most positions lost” after Miami, while McLaren’s Lando Norris strengthened his season position enough to move up into the championship top four.
After Miami, Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) leads the 2026 championship on 100 points. George Russell (Mercedes) remains second on 80, with Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) third on 59.
The top three underline how decisive Mercedes has been across the opening four rounds, while Ferrari’s lead driver still holds P3 despite a reduced Miami return compared to earlier rounds.
Leclerc was the standout for volatility. He dropped 11 places to P16 in “Most positions gained” (valueDisplay: -3), while simultaneously climbing eight places to P3 in “Most positions lost” (valueDisplay: −3). The same weekend, the “Most positions lost” deep-dive also frames Miami as the event that pushed him into that table’s top three.
Elsewhere, Miami generated upward momentum for McLaren and Williams in the positions-gained picture: Oscar Piastri rose seven places to P3 in “Most positions gained” (+5), and Carlos Sainz also gained seven places to P5 (+5). Piastri additionally jumped seven places to P8 in “Best average race finish” (11.25).
The biggest negative swing away from Leclerc came in average finish: Liam Lawson fell eight places to P14 in “Best average race finish” (12.25), matching the weekend narrative captured in the dedicated ranking analysis.
Miami’s ranking movement is best understood through the linked breakdowns: “Championship ranking” for the updated points order, “Power ranking” for the weekend’s form snapshot, and the pair of positions tables (“Most positions gained” and “Most positions lost”) for the sharpest swing involving Leclerc.
For broader context beyond Sunday-only outcomes, the weekend also fed into “Best average race finish”, “Best qualifying average”, “Biggest improvement vs qualifying”, “Most consistent drivers”, and both teammate head-to-head tables (race and qualifying), painting a fuller picture of who is trending up or down after four rounds.
| Driver | Team | Before | After | Δ | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lando Norris | McLaren | 5 | 4 | +1 | 51 |
| Lewis Hamilton | Ferrari | 4 | 5 | -1 | 51 |
With four rounds counted, Antonelli’s 100-point total sets a clear benchmark, and Russell is the closest challenger on 80. The more open question is how quickly the chasing pack stabilises: Leclerc’s Miami swing shows how one weekend can reverberate across multiple Measure categories, while Norris and Piastri’s movement hints at momentum that could translate into sustained ranking gains if it repeats over consecutive rounds.
