Max Verstappen leads the F1 2026 teammate head-to-head in races at 13–4. Behind the leader come Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin, 13–4), Sergio Pérez (Cadillac F1 Team, 13–4), Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, 12–5) and Liam Lawson (RB F1 Team, 11–6). Race-day duels won against the driver in the sister car.
The standout single-race number at the Singapore Grand Prix came from Max Verstappen: W. Nobody has pushed harder over the last three rounds than Nico Hülkenberg (Audi): W, W, W across Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and Singapore Grand Prix — comfortably clear of the level set over the rest of the season. Going the other way, Gabriel Bortoleto (Audi) has given up the most ground: L, L, L across Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and Singapore Grand 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 17 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.
Updated after the Singapore Grand Prix
Through 17 rounds of 2026, Max Verstappen (Red Bull) leads this table at 13–4, built from 17 counted duels.
Behind him, Fernando Alonso holds second on 13–4, while Sergio Pérez rounds out the top three at 13–4.
Every figure here comes straight from the official results — no votes, no narratives, just the classification sheets. The big mover this round is Nico Hülkenberg, up 2 places to P11. Lewis Hamilton heads the other way, down 2 places to P9.
After round 17 at the Singapore Grand Prix, the Teammate head-to-head (race) table is led by Max Verstappen of Red Bull on 13–4 across 17 races counted. What makes this snapshot unusual is how little daylight there is at the very top: Fernando Alonso and Sergio Pérez are also listed on 13–4, turning the podium positions into a three-way deadlock rather than a clear hierarchy. In the movers, Nico Hülkenberg is the biggest climber, up 2 places to 11th with a 9–8 record, while Charles Leclerc also rises 2 to 12th on 8–9 and Pierre Gasly edges up 1 to 7th on 10–7. The slide is led by Lewis Hamilton, down 2 to 9th despite holding 9–8, and both Oscar Piastri and Gabriel Bortoleto drop 2 places to 13th and 14th respectively on 8–9. With the lead shared on identical figures, even modest position changes like these can reshape the narrative of who is really asserting themselves within their garage as the season’s head-to-heads tighten.
In every race where exactly two drivers of the same constructor entered, the driver with the better official classification takes one win. The ranking orders drivers by wins, then by win rate. The record is shown as wins–losses. Races where a team did not field exactly two cars are skipped. Ties beyond win rate are broken by total season points, then alphabetically.
