Round 6 of the 2026 season at Circuit de Monaco tightened key battles behind the leader, with big swings across Measure’s weekend rankings. Here’s where the championship and major movers stand after Monte Carlo.
By Diego Torres
The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix (round 6) at Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo fed straight into the Measure picture: Andrea Kimi Antonelli remains the benchmark in the championship, while Lewis Hamilton’s rise reshuffled the fight behind him.
Across the site’s weekend rankings, Monaco also delivered sharp movement in form indicators. The Momentum ranking saw major shifts—most notably Hamilton’s jump into the top group and a steep drop for Lando Norris—while other rankings flagged notable changes involving RB F1 Team’s Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) leads the 2026 championship on 156 points after Monaco. He holds a sizable gap at the top as the season reaches six counted rounds.
Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) is now second on 90 points, with George Russell (Mercedes) third on 88. That places Hamilton between the two Mercedes drivers, compressing the battle for P2 and P3 even as Antonelli stays clear at the front.
The largest swings in Monaco’s biggest-movers list came from the Momentum ranking. Lando Norris (McLaren) fell 16 places to P19 (−0.67), while Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) climbed 15 places to P4 (+3.00).
RB F1 Team featured heavily: Liam Lawson rose eight places to P7 (+2.00) on the Momentum ranking, and Arvid Lindblad gained eight places to P10 (+0.67). Pierre Gasly (Alpine F1 Team) also moved up eight places to P9 (+1.33) in the same ranking.
On the Most positions lost ranking, Arvid Lindblad dropped eight places to P9 (+4), underlining how Monaco’s weekend can push drivers in opposite directions depending on the measure.
| Driver | Team | Before | After | Δ | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lewis Hamilton | Ferrari | 4 | 2 | +2 | 90 |
| George Russell | Mercedes | 2 | 3 | -1 | 88 |
| Charles Leclerc | Ferrari | 3 | 4 | -1 | 75 |
| Oscar Piastri | McLaren | 6 | 5 | +1 | 58 |
Monaco leaves Antonelli with clear control of the championship lead, while the fight behind him is finely poised with Hamilton between Russell and the rest. The biggest-mover signals—especially in Momentum—suggest the next rounds could be shaped as much by shifting form as by raw points accumulation, so the key storylines to track are whether Hamilton can consolidate P2 and whether Russell can halt the slide reflected in the post-Monaco rankings movement.
